'They still believe!' - Marcus Rashford remains wanted by Barcelona after Man Utd forward impresses during Aston Villa loan spell

<p>Rashford decided to part ways with his boyhood club, Manchester United, in January after falling down the order under Ruben Amorim, with Barcelona having been said to be interested. However, after being unable to secure a move to Catalonia, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-ke/lists/simon-jordan-marcus-rashford-aston-villa-manchester-united-exit/blt2c999438256e779e" target="_blank">he moved to Aston Villa on a short loan deal</a> without an option to buy in the summer for the Midlands club.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Rashford is said to still be keen on leaving United in the summer after having impressed on his loan stint with Aston Villa, and is <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-in/lists/marcus-rashford-snub-permanent-aston-villa-transfer-attacker-life-after-man-utd-dream-move/blt1a411dc77a7e37b7" target="_blank">hoping that a move to Barcelona can come to fruition</a>. Transfer guru Fabrizio Romano has now confirmed that the Catalan side are still open to a move for the England winger as they are keen on signing a left-winger this summer.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Speaking to <a href="https://www.caughtoffside.com/2025/05/10/marcus-rashford-barcelona/" target="_blank">CaughtOffside</a>, Romano said: “Let me tell you that, internally at Barcelona, they still believe that Marcus Rashford could be an option for the summer transfer window.</p><p>“They believe at Barcelona that Rashford might be available on the market. They believe at Barcelona that Rashford could be a good solution because he can play as number nine, he can play on the wing, so he can help in several positions and he’s a player appreciated by those at Barcelona.</p><p>“Barca already wanted Rashford in January. It didn’t happen because Ansu Fati didn’t leave, and so in terms of Financial Fair Play it was not possible to balance the deal, but Marcus Rashford remains on the list of Barcelona.</p><p>“If Rashford is not staying at Aston Villa, we will see what happens as he is one of the options under consideration at Barcelona.”</p>

WHAT ROMANO SAID

<p>The 27-year-old has already taken a major step to try and sign with Barcelona as he <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-in/lists/marcus-rashford-teams-up-robert-lewandowski-agent-bid-secure-dream-barcelona-transfer-man-utd/blt1d45b2b1eb565b12" target="_blank">is working with super agent Pini Zahavi, who is said to be very close to the Catalan club's top management</a>, including president Joan Laporta and sporting director Deco.</p>
