Conditions for Barca to recruit Rashford

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

A crucial meeting between Deco and new coach Hansi Flick is expected to take place next week to identify specific transfer targets. Barcelona’s top priority is to find a reliable striker to relieve the load on the mainstays of the attack such as Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha and especially the young talent Lamine Yamal – who has played with great intensity throughout the season.

Marcus Rashford, who has been on Barca's radar since the transfer window earlier this year, is being targeted to bolster the La Liga champions' attack. MU is willing to let the Englishman leave if they receive 40 million euros.

Barca still want Rashford.

However, according to AS , every move by the "Blaugrana" depends largely on the financial fair play regulations and the salary limit set by La Liga. Up to this point, President Javier Tebas has not made any official statement regarding Barcelona's ability to sign 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 the salary cap are changing. We believe that La Liga will be highly competitive if the regulations are more flexible. We will fight to have the best squad within the current regulations."

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

In addition, the Camp Nou team is also aiming to significantly cut the wage bill. This means Barcelona will have to consider selling some current players to create financial space for new contracts.

The departure of some veteran faces or players who are no longer in the long-term plan are being considered as part of the restructuring strategy. Ansu Fati could be the first name to leave because he is no longer in coach Flick's plans.
