FC Barcelona hopes to finalize the signature of Nico Williams next week, and he may not be the only senior striker to join the club this summer.
Marcus Rashford has been strongly expected in recent months, and although one of the two was expected to arrive, chances are the two to join the Hansi Flick team.
Last week, Rashford publicly expressed his desire to join Barcelona, who has been following his situation since 2024. But he was considered an alternative option for the position of left winger, where Nico Williams and Luis Diaz were ahead of the hierarchy.

However, this might no longer be the case. According to some information, Rashford thinks he can sign alongside Williams, and Barcelona seems to agree with this position. Indeed, the club has already taken the first measures to conclude an agreement with Manchester United, as reported by Talksport.

Flick would be a big fan of Rashford, whose versatility he particularly appreciates in attack. His arrival would certainly strengthen the depth of the Barcelona workforce in attack, where Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha, Lamine Yamal, Ferran Torres, Fermin Lopez, Dani Olmo and Pau Victor already evolve, without counting the planned arrival of Williams.
Rashford seems to be a good choice for Barcelona, but with the already planned arrival of Williams, there is little need for him. Some suggest that it could be a different option, but taking into account his high salary at Manchester United, there is little chance that a loan agreement is concluded, unless the first League accepts to take charge of a significant part of his salary.
It remains to be seen how it will happen, but if Williams arrives, it seems very difficult for Barcelona to sign Rashford.
