Barcelona is willing to get ahead in their transmission interest to bring in Manchester United star Marcus Rashford this summer.
The transfer plans of La Blaugrana were forced this month in a large repeat after a controversial rejection by Nico Williams.
The Spain International opted for a move to Catalonia for the second season and Hansi Flick is now looking for alternatives.
An expensive transfer offer is difficult, because of the well-documented financial misery of the club, but as soon as a return to the 1: 1-rule of La Liga is safe, they are ready to hit the gas and go for Rashford.
Rashford has already been told by Ruben Amorim that he can leave the club this summer and the hope of Barcelona is that they can protect a seasonal loan with the option to buy in 2026.
Further conversations are planned for the coming days, but there are internal doubts about the English international, behind a mixed 12 months in the Premier League.
According to reports from Javi Miguel, Barcelona sports director Deco is not sure of a move for Rashford, because he is not convinced by the impact he will have.
Deco is a big fan of Luis Diaz, who is also on the shortlist of Flick, but Liverpool will demand more than € 70 million for the Colombia International.
That could block their interest in the former porto-wing player and Rashford is a much more cost-effective option to get in.
Despite United's willingness to sell Rashford, Barcelona is unable to pay their asking price of £ 40 million, and that is why they look at a loan offer.
According to reports from the Italian outlet tuttosport, Serie A Giants Juventus have now entered the race, and they are a serious rival.
Speed could be the essential aspect in the hunt for Rashford and Barcelona will have to set an immediate range to protect their target.
