It is said that Barcelona wants to sign Marcus Rashford and could get the Manchester United star for Raphinha.

Calcio Mercato and other Italian news outlets say that Barcelona wants to trade for Manchester United’s Marcus Rashford. The Catalans are said to be interested in signing Raphinha, a 26-year-old defender, but this deal doesn’t look likely from the outside.

Markus Rashford, a speedster, has been having a rough season because his game has gotten much worse. The Manchester United star player hasn’t been very useful this season. In 14 Premier League games, he’s only scored twice.

The first one was at the Emirates, where they played Arsenal and lost 3-1. The second one against Everton was a gift from the penalty spot. Because he played so well against Newcastle United, Erik Ten Hag took the forward off for their win over Chelsea last week.

This is what the Manchester United boss is telling Rashford: take a break. There has been talk about transfers since the Dutchman made his decision, and this news source says the winger could be going to Barcelona.

A lot of experts and critics have said bad things about Rashford, but he is still an important part of Manchester United. He signed a big new deal that will keep him with the team for a long time. Ten Hag always thinks of new ways to help his best player get better.

The news story says that Barcelona is ready to trade Rashford for Raphinha, a 26-year-old winger. The Brazilian seems to have had a hard time in Catalonia based on his stats. What he does to Xavi Hernandez, though, is better than what Rashford does to Manchester United.

Barcelona had to beat out other teams in the summer of 2022 to sign the 26-year-old back. They might need help getting rid of him. They need to have a lot of different players on their team, and Raphinha may play a bigger role this season because so many people are hurt. It was said that Barcelona might be ready to sell him for between £40 million and £50 million, but that might not happen.

Another country that wants Raphinha is Saudi Arabia. This may have something to do with a big offer that could help Barcelona’s money issues. Xavi really likes the Brazilian player and has no plans to trade him any time soon.

Rashford and Manchester United are the same way. The club really cares about the young star and wants to keep him for a long time.
