Conditions for Barca to sign Rashford

Barcelona are awaiting a ruling from La Liga before they can sign new players in the 2025 summer transfer window.

Despite having just experienced a successful season in many respects, Barcelona is still aiming for a squad overhaul in the summer of 2025 to strengthen their team and increase their competitiveness.

A crucial meeting between Deco and new coach Hansi Flick is expected to take place next week to determine specific transfer targets. Barcelona's top priority is finding a reliable striker to ease the burden on key players in attack such as Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha, and especially the young talent Lamine Yamal – who has played with high intensity throughout the past season.

Marcus Rashford, a player who has been on Barca's radar since the early transfer window this year, is being targeted to bolster the attacking power of the reigning La Liga champions. Manchester United are willing to let the English player leave if they receive €40 million.

Barca still want Rashford.

However, according to AS , every move by "Blaugrana" largely depends on the financial fair play regulations and salary caps set by La Liga. To date, President Javier Tebas has not made any official statement regarding Barcelona's potential signings in the upcoming summer transfer window.

Speaking after Barcelona officially won La Liga, Laporta affirmed that the team is fully capable of making the necessary transfers: "The rules regarding salary caps are changing. We believe that La Liga will be more competitive if the regulations are more flexible. We will fight to have the best squad within the current regulations."

He also emphasized that players awaiting contract extensions such as Pedri, Gavi, and Fermin have all been registered thanks to Deco's effective financial management, and that Barca is now under the "1:1 rule," meaning they can sign new contracts as long as spending does not exceed revenue.

Furthermore, the Camp Nou club is also aiming to significantly reduce its wage bill. This means Barcelona will have to consider selling some current players to create financial space for new signings.

The departure of some veteran players or those no longer in the long-term plans is being considered as part of a restructuring strategy. Ansu Fati could be the first name to leave as he is no longer in manager Flick's plans.
