After missing out on Nico Williams, Barcelona remain interested in Marcus Rashford, but unfortunately he is not their first choice.
Williams shocked the football world by announcing a new 10-year contract with Athletic Bilbao on Friday, having been consistently linked with a move to Barcelona.
As a result, the chances of Rashford fulfil his dream of moving to Camp Nou increase, although it is believed that Barcelona would prefer a loan deal for the striker.
The 27-year-old’s wages, which are estimated to be around £325,000-a-week, are a major problem in the deal, but according to Spanish outlet แทงบอล UFABET ราคาดีที่สุด ไม่มีขั้นต่ำ , He has already informed Barcelona that he will take a pay cut in order to join the club.
However, the same outlet reports that Rashford is seen as a ‘plan B’ for Hansi Flick’s side, with their ‘plan A’ after failing to sign Williams being Liverpool’s Luis Diaz.
The Colombian has been regularly linked with a move away from Anfield this summer, with the Reds now having rejected a bid from Bayern Munich.
It is understood that all transfer activity involving Liverpool has been halted as the club grieves the death of Diogo Jota, who died suddenly and together with his brother Andre Silva in a car crash in Spain on Thursday.
