FC Barcelona keeps planning its squad for next season, and it seems to have room for everyone. Although the signing of Nico Williams is about to become a reality, this wouldn't prevent Marcus Rashford from arriving. The Englishman remains on the list, he fits in, and he's considered a transfer target. He gives priority to Barça, something he has indirectly confirmed in an interview for xBuyer's YouTube channel.
Rashford: Crazy about Barça
Marcus Rashford is clear about it, he wants to play for FC Barcelona and the move is his main priority. He has other interested clubs, such as Aston Villa, but he'd love to wear the blaugrana jersey. He has publicly shown it on numerous occasions by commenting on Lamine Yamal's posts, whom he praised again in the aforementioned interview.
"We all want to play with the best. Of course I'd like to play with Lamine Yamal. Hopefully, we'll see," Rashford said. In this regard, he continued: "He's going to be... It's hard to describe in words what he's doing because he shouldn't be doing this at 16-17 years old. He's playing at the elite level at just 17 years old, I don't think we've seen this before."
"For him, it's normal. Having that mentality is a skill, but it's not normal to be able to do what he does. Not just now, because he's going to get better. In three years, we don't know what we'll be saying about him," he concluded about Lamine.
Finally, he stated: "I see myself reflected in (Thierry) Henry. I feel comfortable playing on the left and also in the middle. He's a free player. As I've grown, the '9' position has become more comfortable, more natural for me."
Marcus Rashford sees himself playing alongside Nico Williams
Nothing has changed for the Englishman. He's willing to wait and push hard to end up playing for FC Barcelona. In this regard, the doors are open for him but with conditions. Barça only considers his arrival through a loan, paying part of his salary and with no purchase obligation.
Marcus Rashford wants to leave England and his priority is to play at Camp Nou. The situation with Nico Williams hasn't changed anything and the plan remains on track, aiming for him to wear Barcelona's jersey sooner rather than later. Nothing immediate is expected, but while time passes, Rashford is on vacation in Marbella.
