Marcus Rashford has become Barça's priority for this winter market, but all parties know it is a very complicated move. At the moment, there is still not enough fair play caused to register a move with these salary conditions, and the worst part is that it doesn't seem like the situation can be solved. Taking all this into account, Hansi Flick has already spoken with Joan Laporta and has been blunt.
"No need for Marcus Rashford to come, trust the youth academy," Hansi Flick told Barça's president. Although he would be delighted to have the English player, the reality is that he hasn't made any request to the board. He believes that with the current team and the youth academy, he has more than enough. However, if this move could be finalized, he would welcome him with open arms in the locker room.
Hansi Flick's confidence in La Masia is total and he has no doubt. So far, this bet has replied perfectly, and he will continue to make it. He has given the opportunity to Marc Casadó, already a starter, and has debuted others like Bernal, Sergi Domínguez, Andrés Cuenca, or Toni Fernández. He has also been counting on Gerard Martín and Pau Víctor.
In the event that Marcus Rashford's arrival falls through, Hansi Flick hasn't specified a 'plan B' for Barça. In La Masia, there are players he likes a lot and who fit well, such as Dani Rodríguez or Unai Hernández.
Marcus Rashford, Operation in Danger: No Departures at Barça
Nobody at Barça has the intention of parting with Eric García. With a contract until 2026, the defender has been gaining importance in recent matches and is considered an important player. He has attracted interest from several teams in Europe, but the reality is that no current proposal reaches the figures requested by Joan Laporta.
At the moment, it seems very complicated for Marcus Rashford to wear Barça's jersey. With Eric García's departure ruled out unless his economic proposals increase, everything falls on Ansu Fati's shoulders.
The idea is for the Spaniard to go on loan to a club that pays his high salary, something that seems very complicated. Ansu himself, moreover, has no intention of leaving Barcelona in this January market. Between the decision with Eric García and the complicated departure of the forward, it seems that Marcus Rashford's move is practically impossible.
