Barcelona have stepped up their pursuit of Rashford following Flick’s approval to proceed with a move, as per Matteo Moretto. The star, currently training alone, is open to a switch and is even willing to accept a pay cut. The La Liga champions hope to bring the international in on loan with a purchase option for the summer of 2026.

After missing out on Nico Williams, Barcelona have turned their attention to Rashford and ‘s Diaz. While the Colombian remains Barcelona sporting director Deco’s top priority, a move for the Liverpool winger is proving complicated due to ‘s involvement. That has made Rashford a more accessible and realistic alternative for the Catalan giants, as he continues to train alone at Carrington.

As per the report, Barcelona sporting director Deco is set to hold new talks with Rashford’s representatives in the coming days. The player has made it clear he will only consider leaving Manchester United this summer if it means joining Barcelona. With personal terms unlikely to be an issue, the biggest hurdle now lies in negotiating with United over the structure of the deal.

Barcelona are preparing to submit their proposal and could look to finalise terms with Rashford before the end of the month. United, frustrated with Rashford’s stance, are keen to sell but may be forced to accept a loan as they continue to struggle with finances. All eyes are now on whether the clubs can strike a compromise before pre-season ramps up.
