Hansi Flick 'asks Barcelona to sign Man City star' over Man Utd loanee Marcus Rashford
Hansi Flick reportedly prefers Manchester City winger Savinho over Marcus Rashford for Barcelona's summer transfer plans.
Barcelona is contemplating signing Manchester City winger Savinho instead of the on-loan Marcus Rashford from Manchester United, following advice from their coach Hansi Flick. Despite an impressive season so far with 10 goals and 13 assists in 34 appearances, Rashford's future with Barcelona is uncertain due to competition and tactical choices made by Flick during matches.
Flick's decision to not utilize Rashford as a substitute in a recent La Liga match against Levante indicates his concerns about squad dynamics, as he has multiple options on the wing, including Lamine Yamal and Raphinha. Barcelona holds the option to buy Rashford for £26 million, but the presence of these competing players poses a challenge to Rashford's long-term prospects at the club.
As the summer transfer window approaches, the situation raises questions about Rashford's next steps, especially if Barcelona opts for Savinho instead. The strategic choices by Flick could have significant implications not only for Rashford's career but also for Barcelona's attacking lineup as they aim to strengthen their squad for future competitions.
