Marcus Rashford will not join Barcelona in the winter transfer market, and the player has begun to look for other options to leave Manchester United.
This was confirmed by the famous journalist Fabrizio Romano, who revealed that the English international’s desire was to join Barça, and the Catalan club also wanted to complete the deal.
But in the end, the Financial Fair Play rules prevented the two parties from achieving the common desire.
Barcelona needed to sell at least one player to make room for Rashford’s registration on its list, but this is now completely ruled out.
Ansu Fati categorically refused to leave despite being out of coach Hansi Flick’s calculations, while Andreas Christensen will remain after his injury for 3 weeks and the clubs’ reluctance to move for him now.
At the same time, Rashford realizes that he has no future at United in the presence of coach Ruben Amorim, so he will inevitably leave before the end of the winter market in 3 days from now.
Romano said that Aston Villa were the last to contact Rashford and offered him to join Villa Park to replace John Doran who moved to Saudi Arabia’s Al-Nassr.
The 27-year-old has not yet made a decision on his next destination, with Borussia Dortmund still the top target, with Juventus also showing interest, albeit to a lesser extent.
