Barcelona Identifies Replacement for Marcus Rashford
Monday 29-12-2025
The website "Fichajes" revealed that FC Barcelona has decided not to activate the option to purchase player Marcus Rashford for 30 million euros, considering the deal beyond their current financial capabilities, as part of their planning to strengthen the attack for the upcoming season.

According to the website, the decision requires Barcelona to look for a replacement winger capable of delivering a performance similar to Rashford's, but in a more financially sustainable way, emphasizing that the solution will once again be through a loan.

The site pointed out that Rashford's time with Barcelona left positive impressions in terms of his speed, experience, and ability to decide matches. However, the management felt that purchasing him would limit their ability to complete other important signings, so the club decided to close the chapter on the player and focus on a more affordable alternative.

The same source adds that Barcelona is setting its sights on Manchester City, which has a number of young players who do not always get enough playing time, allowing for the possibility of strategic loans.

The report clarified that the most prominent name on Barcelona's radar is Manchester City's winger, Sávio, who is 21 years old and known for his speed and ability to play on the flanks, making him well-suited to the team's needs.

To make the deal possible, Barcelona is expected to cover 65% of Sávio's salary for the upcoming season, a move that ensures strengthening the team without compromising the financial aspect, while giving Manchester City the opportunity to provide playing time for the young player.

The report confirmed that this deal represents a logical solution both athletically and financially, as Savinho can deliver an immediate performance similar to Rashford. Additionally, it aligns with the project of building a competitive team in the medium term. Negotiations with Manchester City are ongoing to finalize the loan in a way that suits the team's financial and qualitative realities.
