Rashford's agent spotted in Barcelona meeting with Deco over a possible move

Barcelona have initiated formal contacts to explore the possible signing of Marcus Rashford for next season. According to images that have come to light and as reported by SPORT, Deco, the Catalan club's sporting director, met with the player's agent in a Barcelona hotel on Wednesday morning.

This summit comes after the renewal of Lamine Yamal and the progress in the departure of Ansu Fati, which allows the club to focus on new reinforcements.

Rashford is among the four priority options for Los Cules, according to journalist Toni Juanmarti. The Manchester United winger would be available to all clubs for around £40m, as reported by Fabrizio Romano.

The British player would be very open to joining Barcelona, as he did before his move to Aston Villa when he was also rumoured to be joining Barcelona. The deal could take the form of a loan with an option to buy at the aforementioned figure.
