Hansi Flick gives the green light for 27-year-old Manchester United winger’s arrival at Barcelona | OneFootball

FC Barcelona continue to work towards the arrival of a new left-winger this summer. After all, that is the objective that seems to be taking up the most time and effort from the club. Unfortunately, some of that time has already been wasted and Barcelona cannot get it back.

Previously, the club was heavily linked to Athletic Club winger Nico Williams. Seen as the club’s priority target, reports suggested that he was more than keen to join. Ultimately, however, he did not end up joining Barcelona and renewed his contract instead.

Since then, various reports have emerged linking different players to the club. From Liverpool forward Luis Diaz to even Atalanta forward Ademola Lookman being linked to the club recently, there has been no shortage of transfer links for Barcelona.

However, it might just be English winger Marcus Rashford who ticks most of the boxes for Barça when it comes to a combination of profile and price. According to Matteo Moretto, the Catalan giants are expected to hold talks with the Manchester United winger over the next couple of days and Hansi Flick has already approved his arrival as well.

Barcelona could look to accelerate negotiations

As per the journalist, with Flick’s green light now in place for the operation, negotiations could progress in the coming weeks as well. Already considered an active target and an operation that was never closed, Moretto now suggests that Rashford’s arrival looks even more concrete as time passes.

Previously, the club had already reignited their interest in the player and talks have taken place before as well. Now, however, it seems likely that Rashford could be the most realistic target for Barcelona moving forward considering the more feasible financial demands of this particular operation taking into account all involved parties.
