Lamine Yamal is eagerly awaiting the deal and is urging Barcelona’s management to speed up negotiations with the player

Although the summer transfer window hasn’t officially opened, Barcelona is already making moves behind the scenes. One of the biggest names linked with Hansi Flick’s squad is Manchester United’s Marcus Rashford, who is reportedly open to a new challenge after a difficult season.

Lamine Yamal, Barcelona’s 17-year-old sensation, has reportedly endorsed Rashford’s potential arrival. According to *El Nacional*, Yamal has exchanged messages with the English forward on Instagram, showing mutual admiration.

The young winger believes Rashford’s experience and versatility would add significant value to Barça’s attack. Barcelona’s preferred approach is a loan deal with an option to buy, allowing them to strengthen without overspending. Manchester United may agree, especially if Barça covers a large portion of Rashford’s wages, given his recent struggles.

Hansi Flick has emphasized the need for a fast, technically gifted attacker who can score—qualities Rashford possesses. The German coach sees him as a key piece in a dynamic frontline, potentially partnering with Yamal and Raphinha in a revamped attack. Rashford’s arrival could shake up Barcelona’s forward line,

particularly affecting Robert Lewandowski’s role. While the Polish striker remains important, Flick wants more mobility in attack to compete across multiple competitions. Yamal’s support for Rashford is significant, as his influence in the locker room could help the Englishman settle quickly. The teenager’s backing might also encourage the club to push harder for the deal,

given his growing stature at Camp Nou. However, financial hurdles remain. Barcelona must balance their budget and finalize other transfers before committing to Rashford. The club is optimistic but aware that negotiations with Manchester United won’t be straightforward.

If completed, the move would bring a proven Premier League forward to La Liga, offering Barcelona much-needed depth and experience. Rashford’s ability to play across the frontline makes him an attractive option for Flick’s tactical plans. For Yamal, playing alongside Rashford could accelerate his development, learning from a player with elite experience.

The potential partnership has fans excited, though the deal is far from guaranteed. Barcelona’s management is under pressure to act swiftly, with Yamal reportedly pushing for a quick resolution. The coming weeks will reveal whether the club can secure Rashford and satisfy their young star’s wishes. If successful, this signing could mark a new chapter for Barcelona,

blending youth and experience in their quest for silverware next season.
