So far this January, Barcelona have not been as active as some people had hoped, mainly fending off interest.

However, now that Ronald Araújo is set to stay at the club, Deco should be able to focus on bringing some reinforcements in for Hansi Flick.

The main position of concern is at left wing, where Ansu Fati has not impressed the German coach, forcing Flick to play Raphinha and Ferran Torres out of position.

The main candidate linked with a move to Barça this month has been Man United’s Marcus Rashford, who is being forced out by Ruben Amorim.

In a recent report, SPORT have claimed that the Premier League forward currently prefers to join Barcelona ahead of any other club.

Despite this, AC Milan, Borussia Dortmund and Monaco have all met with the English international’s representatives to express their interest. 

The report states that Flick would be ok with Rashford joining, but that he is more than happy with his current squad.

Even though the 27-year-old prefers Barça, the Catalonian side are expected to try and offload Fati before making a move for the Manchester United forward.
