Barcelona have reached a decision over their interest in unwanted Manchester United star Marcus Rashford who has been heavily linked to the Spanish club.

Barcelona have made their decision regarding their interest in Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford.

Rashford has been one of Barcelona’s targets to strengthen their attack, alongside Liverpool’s Luis Diaz, but the Colombian has proved difficult to get due to the Premier League winners’ high asking price.

With their options thinning, after also seeing Nico Williams sign a new eight-year contract at Athletic Bilbao, Barcelona have now decided to go all out for Rashford.

According to The Athletic, the La Liga giants have submitted their bid to Manchester United to try and secure the Old Trafford academy graduate after coach Hansi Flick approved the transfer.

The outlet reports that Barcelona are looking to sign Rashford on loan with an option to buy permanently and are hoping that United can agree to their terms of the transfer.

Barcelona’s move is a massive lift for the player as he recently expressed a desire to play for the club, terming it a “dream” and he could be close to realizing it, following Saturday’s decision by the Spanish side.

It remains to be seen how United will react to Barcelona’s move as they have been holding out for over £40 million for Rashford, who still has two years remaining on his big-money contract at the club.

Meanwhile, personal terms could also prove to be a sticking point in negotiations as Barcelona are not willing to match Rashford’s current salary, which is believed to be over £325,000 million per week.

Rashford is among players coach Ruben Amorim has told to look for new clubs, the others being Alejandro Garnacho, Antony, Tyrell Malacia and Jadon Sancho.
