According to reporter Alfredo Martinez, via SPORT, FC Barcelona is still indecisive about Marcus Rashford’s permanent signing at the end of the season.
The Englishman, who is on loan from Manchester United, has excelled with his attacking contributions this season, scoring six goals and providing nine assists in 19 outings.
However, worries remain regarding his overall adaptability in Hansi Flick’s setup due to reservations about his off-the-ball work and pressing vigor, while his pay might also become a problem in the event of a permanent move.
As a result, the reporter claims that certain club officials are hesitant to activate Rashford’s €30 million buy option.
Barcelona is tracking three alternatives.
At the same time, the source claims that Barcelona is already tracking three left-wingers as potential summer transfer targets in case Rashford’s signing is not made permanent.
The first name on the list is Antonio Nusa of RB Leipzig. Joao Amaral, Barça’s new head of scouting and Deco’s right-hand man, personally scouted the Norwegian attacker during a recent international game.
The 20-year-old has sparked interest from several top European teams due to his speed and dribbling ability on the flank. Leipzig would want a large fee on their teenage forward if he is transferred, as he has a contract until 2029.

Aside from Nusa, Barcelona is keeping an eye on Olympique Lyon’s Malick Fofana, who has developed a name for himself over the last year with his quickness and guile.
The 20-year-old Belgian international has a contract with the Ligue 1 club until 2028 and is a potential signing for the Blaugrana next summer.
The last name on the list is Said El Mala of 1. FC Koln. Barcelona’s interest in the 19-year-old German prodigy has recently been reported, and it looks that the club is keeping a close eye on him.
However, El Mala, who has five goals and three assists in the Bundesliga this season, is attracting interest from a number of European clubs, including Real Madrid.
