As per one of the latest reports, La Liga giants Barcelona are readying a galvanizing deal in order to lure Manchester United’s blossoming youngster Marcus Rashford to Camp Nou next summer. Rashford has been creating an unparalleled buzz in the Premier League as a youngster, for his growth and development as a player at such a tender age has made him find a place in the good books of the football fraternity.
Barcelona suffered a brutal blow at the hands of Ligue 1 heavyweights Paris Saint-Germain this summer as they snatched Neymar for a ground shattering transfer fee of €222million. Neymar formed an excellent partnership with two other veteran attackers in the shapes of Luis Suarez and Lionel Messi and terrorized the defensive line of the oppositions to no end. The departure of the Brazilian international has left Barca with a huge void up front.
Ernesto Valverde has tried his bit to nullify the damage to an extent by roping in highly rated attacker in the shape of Ousmane Dembele, who created a buzz last season, from Borussia Dortmund for a staggering initial fee of £96.8million, potentially rising to £135.5million.
Although they have made a stupendous signing, Barcelona are now considering their future and are thus in the contemplative stage of making Rashford sign above the dotted line and the move of the English international to Spain is likely to cost £135million.
Rashford is apparently bookmarked as the potential successor of Suarez as they ready to start fresh from next season. The 19-year-old is a stupendous attacker owing to his astute usage of his pace and movements up front coupled with his notable knack to bang goals.
He is a versatile attacker who uses the space afforded to him to good effect, has the requisite technical understanding of the game, is a good passer of the ball and has blistering pace in his boots to breeze past the defenders with relative ease.
Having emerged through the youth ranks of the Red Devils, Rashford is on the verge of becoming a complete package very soon. His relentless toil and perseverance have not gone unnoticed and he is likened by Jose Mourinho as well as Manchester United faithful. In 3 league appearances so far this season, Rashford has scored 1 goal and has registered 1 assist and frankly speaking, he is seemingly likely to play a huge role for the Mourinho’s outfit this season.
