Barcelona 's top priority this summer is to find a winger, so that Hansi Flick can rotate the squad better in the context of having to compete at a high frequency on many fronts.

Nico Williams is a dream. Meanwhile, sporting director Deco is also keeping a close eye on Marcus Rashford .

In fact, Rashford has been on Deco and Hansi Flick's target list since last January.

Contacts have been reopened by Barca in recent days, after Rashford's loan at Aston Villa ended and he is not in MU's plans.

In an interview on XBuyer's YouTube channel, Rashford admitted his desire to play for Barca, especially praising Lamine Yamal.

“Yamal is playing at the top level at 17. I don't think we've seen that before,” Rashford said.

“It's difficult to describe what Yamal is doing, because he shouldn't have been able to do that at 16 or 18.

I don't think anyone has ever done that before. What Lamine did was unusual.

Furthermore, Yamal can still improve, so we don't know what will be said about him in 3 years. His strong spirit to stay calm in the face of everything is also another strength of Lamine."

When asked about Lamine Yamal's ability to reach the pinnacle of individual titles, Rashford did not hesitate to put him in the group of candidates for the Ballon d'Or.

“It depends on what criteria you use. If you only look at his ability to play football, I think he can definitely win it. But Ousmane Dembele has the Champions League...

Depends on how you look at it. I wouldn't be disappointed if either of them won.”

There have been recent talks between Barca officials about plans to sign Rashford.

So when asked if he would like to play with Lamine Yamal, Rashford replied emphatically: “Of course. Everyone wants to play with the best players. Hopefully. We will see.”

Rashford admits his preferred position is as a left winger, but is increasingly comfortable playing as a centre-forward, something Hansi Flick values.
