Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford has put FC Barcelona “at the top of his bucket list” with a January move on the line, according to reports.
Rashford will meet Man Utd owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe this month, who is set to move the Academy graduate.
The English foreigner would be available for £50 million, the Red Devils are also in a position to loan him.
Many clubs have been related to Rashford in recent weeks and a transfer to Saudi Arabia is not ruled out.
With his incredibly future, the absolute precedence of Rashford has been revealed.
According to Talksport, Barcelona is “Dream Transfer Move” through Rashford and is now “at the top of his desire list” after being put up for sale through Man Utd.
Unfortunately for the England striker, a “January movement is unlikely” due to the monetary situation of the club.
Barcelona are unable to register summer signing Dani Olmo due to La Liga’s salary rules, so they are hardly in a position to go out and buy or even loan Rashford.
TalkSPORT transfer expert Alex Crook provided an update on Rashford’s future on Thursday morning. He said: “Rashford would want to join Barcelona over any team. But they can’t register new players.
“I understand that his best destination would be Spain and Barcelona could potentially be one of the clubs he would be interested in signing for. “
It was reported earlier this week by The Sun that Rashford has been speaking to an agency to help secure an Old Trafford exit. The 27-year-old was quick to quash that report with a post on social media.
He said: “A lot of fake stories have been written in the last few weeks, but they are becoming ridiculous – I’ve never met a company and I have no plans to. . . “
Crook boldly said his representatives had been in contact with the agencies for weeks.
“I think he connected several (agencies), adding stellar, to negotiate a move,” he said.
“He represented through his brother, Dwaine Maynard, that I think if there is a movement, whoever signs the agreement, Maynard will have to play an important role.
“Stellar is one of the largest agencies in the country. So, even if Rashford himself might not have spoken to Stellar, I’ve had clever feminine that other people acting on his behalf have had the conversations. “
Crook continued, “I wonder if he regrets that now. I told him he didn’t like Saudi Arabia. “
“I’m sure there would be plenty of Premier League clubs lining up to take Rashford.
“I know Stellar has a nearby appointment with Tottenham, so it can be an appointment to see.
“Spain I think would appeal to him, but we all know about the financial crisis Barcelona is in. It’s a really difficult situation, we’re all concerned.
“By going out and doing this interview with Henry Winter, he didn’t convince Man United in terms of their negotiating position. “
