Barcelona is determined to make a strong impression in the upcoming transfer window, aiming to identify the best possible signings while taking their financial limitations into account.
Following a successful domestic treble, new manager Hansi Flick is focused on strengthening the squad as he targets European glory — a goal the club hasn’t achieved in a decade.
Meanwhile, English forward Marcus Rashford is reportedly willing to accept a pay cut to fulfill his ambition of joining Barcelona this summer. Currently on loan at Aston Villa from Manchester United, Rashford hopes for a permanent move to the Catalan giants.
The player is pushing for a loan deal that includes a purchase option, but Manchester United favors a full transfer, setting a price tag of around €40 million — an amount Aston Villa may be prepared to meet, according to reports from Catalan outlet Sport.
As it stands, there is a clear divide between Rashford’s intentions and his parent club’s plans, with the situation likely to unfold in the coming weeks.
