Surprise at Camp Nou — He is Offered to Barça in Case Marcus Rashford Fails: 'It's...'

Deco already has a plan B on his desk in case he can't settle the arrival of the English forward

Marcus Rashford has become FC Barcelona's priority for the market this January. The English forward wants to leave Manchester United and doesn't lack potential destinations, although it's true that the option that convinces him the most is the blaugrana one. He is in negotiations with several clubs, with the culer team being the one he likes the most. However, it's not an easy operation at all, as there are other available.

Offered to Barça in Case Marcus Rashford Fails

In Europe, everyone knows that Barça is looking for a fourth forward to finish the season. If the option of Marcus Rashford, the favorite, falls through, the opportunity to boost the team with the Frenchman Christopher Nkunku has emerged.

El Nacional has revealed that Nkunku has become an attractive option for Barça due to his versatility. He can occupy all positions on the offensive front, something that Hansi Flick likes a lot. The Frenchman fits perfectly with the culer team and is the main alternative if Rashford's arrival falls through.

In any case, for arrivals to happen, there must be departures. On the list are the names of Ansu Fati and Eric García. They could generate the necessary fair play for the registration of a new offensive player.

Marcus Rashford is the Chosen One at Barça

Barça bets on Rashford so Flick doesn't have nightmares every time he can't count on Lamine Yamal or Raphinha in his line-ups. 

Marcus Rashford has given the OK to Deco, and Manchester United is eager to sell. Barça is already at 1:1 and can buy whatever it pleases. However, they'll try again to place Frenkie de Jong at Old Trafford in exchange for receiving Rashford for free.

These are the tasks Deco has pending for the coming weeks: A reliable, valued, and prestigious forward to alternate in the line-up with the irreplaceable Raphinha and Lamine. If this option doesn't prosper, a profile that is very appealing is Christopher Nkunku from Chelsea, who could be loaned out in January.

We'll have to wait for developments, but the possibility of Marcus Rashford is very real. Everything will depend on whether Barça can generate the necessary fair play. In other words, there must be departures.
