Marcus Rashford's proposed move to Barcelona will not be possible due to the Catalan club's financial constraints.According to <a href="https://www.mundodeportivo.com/futbol/fc-barcelona/20250120/1002390245/salen-ansu-fichar-sera-imposible.html" target="_blank">Mundo Deportivo</a>, Unless Barcelona manage to make at least two high-profile sales in the January transfer window, they will not be able to sign the Red Devils star due to their poor financial health. Ansu Fati remains out of favour under Hansi Flick in the 2024-25 season, and the manager has even made him aware that his game time will continue to remain limited.

Under such circumstances, Rashford's arrival looks improbable.<a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/marcus-rashford-s-man-utd-escape-route-to-barcelona-blocked-face-familiar-transfer-problem/blt6d692d910cea8fcb#cs08df4d049f1a939f" target="_blank">Read the full story on GOAL</a>.
