While coach Hans Flick enjoys his summer vacation, Barcelona is working behind the scenes to finalize their left-wing situation after the Nico Williams deal faltered, as he renewed with Athletic Bilbao until 2035.

According to 'Mundo Deportivo', sporting director Deco is currently weighing two prominent options: Colombian Luis Diaz, star of Liverpool, and Englishman Marcus Rashford, forward of Manchester United.

The main obstacle for Barcelona lies in financial aspects, although both Diaz and Rashford are willing to reduce their salaries to wear the Barca jersey next season.

Luis Diaz, whose contract with Liverpool ends in 2027, has a market value of 70 million euros, but it may decrease if the player insists on leaving.

On the other hand, Rashford has recently lost his luster, and the number (10) is no longer reserved for him at Manchester, making him available at a market value of around 46 million euros.

Rashford could join Barcelona on loan, which is a more flexible economic option if the Manchester management wishes to alleviate the financial burden.

Athletically, Diaz provides consistent performance and is distinguished by his defensive effort and ability to press high, making him suitable for the technical ambitions of the Blaugrana.

As for Rashford, his talent is undeniable, but he is experiencing a period of decline, having not succeeded during his recent loan to Aston Villa.

The challenge in signing Rashford lies in restoring his mental and physical level, while providing the right environment to regain his brilliance at a big club like Barcelona.

In terms of personality, Diaz reflects the image of a disciplined player coming from a humble background, having made his way himself, similar to Raphinha, who succeeded with Barcelona.

Rashford has the story of an early star affected by media pressures and wishes to reclaim his glory through a new experience, which some see as possible in Catalonia.

However, the file is not without strong Saudi competition; Al Hilal and Al Ittihad are seeking to sign Rashford, while Al Nassr has set Diaz as a primary target.

Thus, the battle is not limited to just Diaz and Rashford within Barcelona, but also includes strong entries from Saudi league clubs to sign one of them this summer.
