The management at FC Barcelona is carefully weighing the pros and cons regarding the English player Marcus Rashford.
The decision is neither impulsive nor rushed. The technical secretariat led by Anderson da Souza Deco has been assessing the best options to reinforce the winger position for the summer transfer window for months. Choosing Marcus Rashford is a cost-effective and pedigree-rich alternative. The main objective is to strengthen the squad by adding a dynamic profile beyond Lamine Yamal and Raphinha.
Rashford has performed outstandingly since stepping in due to Raphinha's injury, recording 10 goals and 12 assists by February. The club has analyzed the early months of his tenure and is convinced by his impact.
Deco has met with Rashford’s agents and is working to finalize the signing. Barcelona is prepared to pay around 30 million euros and aims to negotiate that price down, though it may be tough.
Alternatives with other wingers are either overpriced or uncertain in potential. Considering the high costs for similar profiles, signing Rashford is the most logical move for Barça.
