Barcelona’s surprise plans for Marcus Rashford revealed | OneFootball

An insight into the plans of the coaching staff at La Liga giants Barcelona, in the case of Marcus Rashford arriving at the club this month, has on Sunday been provided.

The name of frontman Rashford has of course proven a prominent one in the headlines in Catalunya’s capital for several weeks now.

As much comes amid the understanding that the England international has been identified as a leading mid-season transfer target by Barcelona.

Available on loan this month, Rashford is seen as a viable option to reinforce the attacking ranks in Hansi Flick’s squad.

The understanding, until now, was that the 27-year-old was being eyed as a signing for the left wing, to back up and provide competition to Raphinha.

If the latest word stemming from the media this weekend is anything to go by, however, then Flick and co. appear to have other plans…

As per a report from Relevo:

‘Rashford is still of interest to Barcelona, ​​more as a ‘9’ than on the wing.’

Amid concern regarding the ongoing form of Robert Lewandowski, Rashford is considered a potential difference-maker for the centre-forward role in Catalunya.
