Marcus Rashford is looking at an exit of Manchester United with Barcelona's dream destination and the Catalans are still beaten back by their goals – who could play in his hands
The hope of Marcus Rashford to land a dream switch to Barcelona was helped after another goals from their list had to be scratched.
Rafael Leao is the newest big name that will not join the Catalans, who have had little joy this summer with their pursuit of more firepower. The AC Milan star excelled in the San Siro and new manager Max Allegri insists that he is not going anywhere.
Barcelona, ​​just after securing a domestic double in the first season of Hansi Flick, wants to strengthen a forward line that already includes Robert Lewandowski, Lamine Yamal and Raphinha. Leao was identified as their newest target, but the Italians have no plans to sell.
Allegri said: “I am sure I can put that extra something that he is missing. I am happy that he has stayed, he is now more responsible, more mature and has all the qualities to become one of the best.”
That is after Barcelona has also missed Nico Williams and Luis Diaz. The latter was considered their priority, but Liverpool made clear, while his contract ends that the Colombians will not leave for Anfield.
As a result, Barcelona made a Beeline for Williams, who put itself on the map with a great show in the euros last summer. He remains a leading light in Athletic Bilbao and, after being close to a move and chosen to sign a long -term agreement with San Mames after Barcelona could not offer him certain guarantees.
It means that the Spanish giants are back to the drawing board and Rashford can be a name that they now consider. The attacker of Manchester United seems to have no future among Ruben Amorim after he was lent at the beginning of the year.
His move to Aston Villa was a success, but was not made permanent and Rashford was somewhat left in the Lurch during his next move. It is understanding that the International of England sees Barcelona as his 'dream destination' and that movement could now come true if they persist with their plan to add another attacker.
Newcastle is also one of those who show an interest in Rashford, but they want a loan movement, while those in Manchester want to put an end to the Saga with a permanent exit on their radar. The 27-year-old has proven that he can be productive in the past, but he has been destroyed by inconsistencies.
