Reports: Barcelona want to sign €100 million Manchester United star

What’s the rumour?

Barcelona are eyeing potential eventual successors for the throne of Luis Suarez at the Camp Nou. So far, they have been linked with a lot of players but one among them remains a dream – although an impossible one – in the form of Manchester United star Marcus Rashford, say Mundo Deportivo.

In case you didn’t know…

The Manchester United star is yet to sign an extension with the Red Devils and even though they are talks of him signing a new deal soon, the stories surrounding him have not stopped.

The heart of the matter

The Englishman has played in 22 games so far this season in the Premier League and has 9 goals and 6 assists to his name. His rise of form has put Romelu Lukaku’s place in the first team in jeopardy as the youngster has been in great form while playing as the striker.

The report adds that Barcelona are aware of the complication surrounding the deal and know that he would cost over a €100 million. The Red Devils consider the player non-transferrable as they see him as one of the pillars for the future.

Rumour rating: 6/10

This report claims that Barcelona want the player but know that it would be a nearly impossible deal – so there is nothing wrong with the claim. Rashford is in good form and it is only natural for Barca to have him on their radar but a deal is not likely to happen.

What’s next?

Manchester United will look to tie Rashford to a new deal as soon as possible since it would put an end to such speculations. The youngster is also in hot form and there is no reason why he shouldn’t sign an extension.
