According to reports, FC Barcelona have a clear stance on whether to sign Manchester United outcast Marcus Rashford permanently next year.<\/p>\n
In the summer window, Rashford<\/a>\u00a0secured a dream move to join Barcelona as the Spanish giants settled on a loan with a buy option deal with Man Utd<\/a>.<\/p>\n Barcelona were tempted to sign Rashford after he returned to form during his impressive loan spell at Aston Villa, in which he grabbed four goals and six assists in all competitions.<\/p>\n Raphinha and Lamine Yamal sparkled for Barcelona last season, but Barcelona\u2019s priority in this summer\u2019s window was to sign a new attacker to provide competition for places.<\/p>\n Hansi Flick\u2019s side eventually settled on Rashford as their preferred target after missing out on Luis Diaz and Nico Williams, with the England international\u2019s versatility mooted as a key factor behind the decision to sign him.<\/p>\n READ:\u00a0Man Utd suffer \u2018more embarrassment\u2019 as Amorim \u2018impacted\u2019 and \u2018cash windfall\u2019 imminent<\/a><\/p>\n However, the 27-year-old has endured a slow start at Barcelona as he has only registered one goal involvement in his first four appearances.<\/p>\n This has fuelled speculation that he could return to Man Utd in 2026, though a new report in Spain claims he is part of their plans moving forward.<\/p>\n It is suggested that Barcelona already have a \u2018priority 2026 plan\u2019 regarding signings as they want a winger, a centre-back and a \u2018galactico\u2019.<\/p>\n The report claims Rashford currently stands out as an obvious option for the wing and they would be willing to \u2018pay\u2019 to sign him on one condition.<\/p>\n MORE MAN UTD COVERAGE ON F365\u2026 The report explains:<\/p>\n \u2018The second focus is on the wing. The club reserves the option of signing Marcus Rashford permanently if his loan agreement goes through this season. The Englishman is popular for his power, dribbling, and versatility, and if he maintains a high-level season, Bar\u00e7a will seriously consider paying the 30 million euro option. This would ensure an attacking trident with Lamine Yamal and Raphinha as their strike partners.\u2019<\/p>\n Elsewhere, it is noted that Julian Alvarez and Erling Haaland are their main options to be their next \u2018galactico\u2019, though the Man City superstar is their \u2018ultimate dream\u2019 signing.<\/p>\n Regarding Barcelona\u2019s interest in these players, the report adds:<\/p>\n \u2018Haaland is the ultimate dream: he would be the signing that would define an era at Camp Nou. However, his signing is presented as a highly difficult transaction due to competition from other European giants and the financial implications. Meanwhile, the option of Juli\u00e1n \u00c1lvarez appears to be a more realistic option: young, versatile, and with elite experience, he could fit perfectly into Flick\u2019s model.\u2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"According to reports, FC Barcelona have a clear stance on whether to sign Manchester United outcast Marcus Rashford…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":150882,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[440],"tags":[1205,49,48,75832,1613,563,2680,2678,44,574,561,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-150881","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-soccer","8":"tag-barcelona","9":"tag-ca","10":"tag-canada","11":"tag-erling-haaland","12":"tag-home-page","13":"tag-manchester-city","14":"tag-manchester-united","15":"tag-marcus-rashford","16":"tag-news","17":"tag-premier-league","18":"tag-soccer","19":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/150881","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=150881"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/150881\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/150882"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=150881"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=150881"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=150881"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
