Barcelona head coach Hansi Flick has given his approval to a deal for a leading member of the club’s summer transfer wishlist.
That’s according to transfer insider Matteo Moretto, who highlights Manchester United star Marcus Rashford as the player in question.
The name of wide-man Rashford has of course proven a prominent one in the headlines in Catalunya’s capital for some time now.
This comes, first, after Barcelona tried and failed to bring the 27-year-old in on loan during the January transfer window.
Still on the lookout for reinforcements on the left flank for next season, Deco and co, in turn, have earmarked Rashford as a potential addition once more this summer.
And as alluded to above, one individual who appears to be fully behind a move for the Englishman is Blaugrana head coach Hansi Flick.
As per a report from journalist Matteo Moretto:
‘Barça continue to keep the Marcus Rashford file open. New contacts are expected in the coming days: Hansi Flick has given the green light to his arrival. Rashford prioritizes Barcelona, and the negotiation could progress in the coming weeks. It is a live option that may become increasingly concrete.’
