Barcelona are said to be eyeing an expensive summer deal for a Premier League winger to strengthen their attack.
According to Fichajes, the Catalan club is willing to spend as much as €40 million on a dynamic forward who has recovered from injury this season.
Having come close to signing the player in the January transfer window, he is now back on their radar as Barcelona looks for proven quality to strengthen their frontline.
The winger is a player who has come back to form after a tough period at his previous club, after a loan spell at a top Premier League club.
He has become one of the most dangerous forwards in England, with defenders finding it incredibly difficult to play against his pace, direct running, and clinical finishing.
He has shown enough to warrant Barcelona’s attention, and his scouts believe that his qualities suit their attacking style of play, particularly considering their sometimes shaky creativity and goal threat at the top of the pitch this season.
The player in question is none other than Marcus Rashford, who has turned his career around, whilst on loan at Aston Villa.
After suffering from inconsistent form at Manchester United, the Englishman appears to have gotten back into the groove and shown the talents that made him one of the most exciting forwards in Europe a couple of years ago.
Barcelona views him as a perfect match for its dynamic style under Hansi Flick, they enjoy his capacity to stretch defenses and be involved in both creating chances and scoring.
Even though Manchester United still owns Rashford’s rights, Barcelona is optimistic that a €40 million bid could persuade the Red Devils to change their minds.
If the deal happens, Rashford could finally think about pursuing his dream at Camp Nou, while providing Barcelona with the explosiveness and attacking option that they crave.
