Barcelona have opened talks to sign Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford during the upcoming summer transfer window, according to a report from Fichajes. The Catalan giants are making serious efforts to secure the 27-year-old England international, with Sporting Director Deco reportedly holding a face-to-face meeting with Rashford’s agent in Barcelona this week to discuss a potential transfer.
Rashford, who spent the second half of the 2024/25 season on loan at Aston Villa, made a notable impact, scoring four goals and providing six assists across 17 Premier League appearances. His form at Villa Park has reignited interest from top European clubs, and Barcelona appear eager to bring him to Camp Nou.
The La Liga champions had previously attempted to sign Rashford during the January transfer window, but financial limitations prevented a deal at the time. Despite the setback, Rashford remains enthusiastic about a potential move to Spain.
While Barcelona’s top target remains Liverpool’s Colombian winger Luis Díaz, prising him away from the Premier League giants poses a significant challenge. Given this, Rashford is now seen as a more realistic and financially viable option to strengthen Xavi’s attacking lineup.
Stay tuned for updates as Barcelona look to reinforce their squad with high-profile signings this summer.
