There is just over a week left in the transfer window, and Man United have identified an “extraordinary” striker who would allow Marcus Rashford to make a move.
Barcelona have agreed personal terms with Rashford But in order to get him to sign the loan, they still have to raise money to cover the loan fees.
Quite simply, the Catalan giants are still struggling under the weight of incredible debts loaded onto them thanks to Covid and, it is believed, the financial mismanagement of the previous regime.
Marcus Rashford in doubt to Barcelona
Ruben Amorim’s Nightmare Scenario That would be if the England international stays at Old Trafford beyond the end of this month.
The Portuguese has made his feelings clear by leaving Rashford out of his last few squads.
With no movement in terms of pitching in La Liga at the age of 27, Amorim has to either integrate the player back into the squad or leave him rotting on the sidelines.
Given that he earns £300,000 p/w (capology), the latter option is not really an option.
Ansu Fati could be key to Marcus Rashford deal
Help may be at hand, however, in the form of “extraordinary” (Target) Ansu Fati.
The striker, who once played alongside Lionel Messi, appears to be out of Hans Flick’s plans, and while it is understandable that he would love to try and prove his manager wrong, let me play Note that Man United are preparing a bid to take the player, who earns around £225,000 p/w (capology), to Old Trafford.
In doing so, this would give the Blaugranas the financial freedom they need to be able to land Rashford. A win-win situation if there ever was one.
There’s still work to do to get both deals over the line, but if all parties are willing, there shouldn’t be any problems.
