Transfer edging closer! Barcelona sporting director Deco meets with Rashford's agent

Barcelona is moving closer to securing a new winger, a top priority for the club this transfer window.

Details: According to Diario Sport, Barcelona’s sporting director Deco held a meeting today with the agent of Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford.

The Red Devils are no longer counting on their academy product, who spent the second half of last season on loan at Aston Villa—scoring 4 goals and providing 6 assists in 17 appearances.

Manchester United is willing to let the 27-year-old Englishman go for €40 million, a figure that suits Barcelona.

It’s well known that Barça head coach Hansi Flick is a huge admirer of Rashford and has given the green light for the transfer.

Reminder: Earlier reports indicated that Monaco has agreed to a loan deal for Barcelona’s forward Ansu Fati.
