Fabrizio Romano is one of the most reliable sources in soccer today: transfer markets, opinions, etc. The Italian has been right countless times and when he speaks, the whole world listens to what he says. His extensive career in elite journalism speaks for itself, which has led fans to blindly trust his word.
Currently, the transfer market is approaching and teams are already starting to consider their options, with Barça being one of them. Those from the Catalan capital believe they need to secure a major signing if they want to stay at the top of Europe. Although the reality is that the forward line isn't a problem, some help is always welcome.
Fabrizio Romano's confession
Fabrizio Romano has spoken about Barça on many occasions and the signings he has announced from the Catalan capital have ended up coming true. After many financial problems, the Catalans are getting back on their feet and can now afford some spending. In any case, they are expected to enter Financial Fair Play; especially because of the fine imposed by UEFA.
The European soccer entity has decided to impose a sanction on Barça of €60 million, which is reduced to €15 million if the club complies with Fair Play. Assuming this will be the case, Deco, Laporta, and the rest of the board are looking at which footballers could arrive in the Catalan capital. According to Fabrizio Romano, a diamond in the rough from the Premier League has the desire to play for this team, so nothing is impossible.
The star we're talking about is none other than Marcus Rashford, the Manchester United winger. The striker hasn't shown his best level, but Barça could be the place where he does. In fact, Hansi Flick has shown he can make his players take a step forward.
Marcus Rashford is real
Marcus Rashford has scored 11 goals and provided 9 assists in the 24-25 season with Aston Villa, the club where he has been on loan. Since his arrival at the English team in February, the forward has improved and adapted quickly. According to Fabrizio Romano, the player has the desire to live in Spain and would love to play for Barça.
In fact, if Ansu Fati had left in January, it's likely Deco would've tried to sign him. United is asking for £40 million, so Barça will wait to see if the price drops as the market progresses.
