The potential arrival of Marcus Rashford at Barça seemed to have become complicated recently, but the entire operation could soon be back on track. Nobody expected it, but the blaugrana team could find a solution to their problems in a former Madridist like Xabi Alonso. Bayer Leverkusen is preparing a good amount of money to sign Mika Faye, and although he no longer belongs to the Catalan team they can still earn money from him.
A few months ago, Barça sold Mika Faye for 12 million euros and the operation also included the possibility of continuing to earn money from the young center-back. Barcelona could take 25% of this future sale if it is finalized, which could provide a good sum to carry out operations like Rashford's. He is not getting the minutes he expected in France and could force his departure.
At 20 years old, Mika Faye could change teams again and would do so to join the ranks of Bayer Leverkusen under Xabi Alonso. This option appeals to him and could be beneficial for Barça, which remains alert to this possibility. With other operations like those of Mingueza or Trincão having fallen through, the Senegalese's departure could provide a significant financial boost to the Catalan team.
This is What Marcus Rashford Demands to Play at Barça
Hansi Flick wants Marcus Rashford as he is the competition needed by Raphinha and Ansu Fati. Flick wants to reach the end of the season with fully charged batteries and the three of them would share minutes with balanced rotations.
Deco knows Flick wants Rashford and he shares his opinion. He is an excellent footballer whose playing style closely resembles that of Lamine Yamal, especially due to his speed and ball control.
The winter market concludes on February 3 and he wants to sign a week before, as well as being guaranteed that he will be registered. He is aware of recent precedents and doesn't want to find himself in the same situation as Dani Olmo. He doesn't want to waste time sitting in the stands and if he would come to Barça to play regardless of the bureaucratic issues the club may have.
Marcus Rashford needs assurance and to know that he is signing with Barça to play and not to pass the time. And Deco has asked him for time although the Englishman doesn't have much time to spare. He wants an answer by next Monday, a week before the market closes, to be able to react in case of a negative outcome.
