Hansi Flick wants to sign a variable striker. He apparently found it in England.
At FC Barcelona, the plans for the offensive could soon concretize: According to information from the US medium “The Athletic”, the club is about to hire Marcus Rashford by Manchester United. The English international should initially be loaned for one season, and the offer also contains a purchase option.
According to the report, the 27-year-old has already signaled that he approved the change. United also generally agreed – but the business has not yet been completed. The negotiations between the two clubs and the player’s representatives are in full swing.
Barça coach Hansi Flick spoke to Rashford and approved his obligation internally. The club has been looking for an offensive player for weeks who can be used both outside and centrally. In particular on the left, Barça saw the most recent need after the alternatives were scarce in the final phase of last season.
Barça would also accommodate a loan with a purchase option – the club has to continue to household with a limited budget. Rashford is one of the top earners at United, his salary is over £ 325,000 (equivalent to 375,000 euros) per week. This corresponds to an annual salary of around 19.5 million euros.
During his loan to Aston Villa, the club from Birmingham took over around three quarters. Rashford scored four goals for Villa in 17 missions before a thigh injury stopped in April. He missed the last four seasonal games due to injury, even for the recent caps against Andorra and Senegal he was not nominated by national coach Thomas Tuchel.
