Barcelona currently not moving for €50 million-rated forward eager to join the club | OneFootball

The rejection of Nico Williams has once again turned FC Barcelona back to the market for a left-winger.

Luis Diaz of Liverpool is the priority target for the Blaugrana sporting director. The Colombian has a verbal agreement to leave Anfield for a fee of €82 million, but Barça are not prepared to match that figure.

Meanwhile, Manchester United outcast Marcus Rashford has been touted as another option on Barcelona’s radar.

Barcelona not actively pursuing Rashford

However, according to Helena Condis on COPE, Barcelona are not making a move to sign Marcus Rashford at the moment.

The 27-year-old Englishman, for his part, is eager to join the La Liga champions after missing out in January.

In the end, the Manchester United man ended up joining Aston Villa on loan. But he continues to see Barça as his dream, and as such, he is waiting for a call from the Catalans.

But, at the moment, the Blaugrana are not keen on his signing and have not made any move to rope him in from Manchester United.

Only a backup plan

The report, though, adds that Barcelona see Rashford as a potential Plan B if their attempt to sign Luis Diaz from Liverpool does not bear fruit.

As mentioned earlier, the England international is keen to wear the Barça shirt, and Manchester United, for their part, might be open to considering a loan deal with a purchase option.

For now, however, Rashford is not being actively pursued by Barcelona, whose full focus remains on Diaz.
