The Spanish giants are also working within Financial Fair Play limits, meaning player departures may be required before further major signings are completed this summer.
Rashford, currently on loan from Manchester United, has shown flashes of quality but still faces uncertainty over whether Barcelona will commit to a permanent move.
Financial pressure shaping Barcelona’s transfer strategy
The club’s transfer planning is increasingly influenced by wage structure concerns, with Barcelona prioritising balance across the squad while targeting key additions in defence and attack.
Reports suggest the arrival of Bastoni could trigger wider squad changes, especially if the club needs to reduce its wage bill to register new signings under league regulations.

Rashford remains under contract at Manchester United until 2028, meaning any permanent move would require fresh negotiations between both clubs.
With Barcelona also monitoring younger attacking alternatives, the coming months will be decisive in shaping Rashford’s long-term future at the club.
