Everyone wants to play with the best. Hopefully \u2026 we\u2019ll see.\u201d Barcelona\u2019s sporting director, Deco, told the Catalan radio station RAC1 in May that the club like Rashford.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-16w5gq9\">Rashford added on the podcast: \u201cIt\u2019s difficult to put into words what [Lamine Yamal] is doing because he\u2019s not supposed to be doing that at 16 or 17. I don\u2019t think we\u2019ve seen that before. Spain is nice, and it\u2019s not too far from home.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-16w5gq9\">Rashford, who spent the second half of this season on loan at Aston Villa, is one of United\u2019s highest paid players, earning around \u00a3370,000 a week. While United would ideally want a loan fee they may be forced to accept a deal that involves Bar\u00e7a paying a proportion of his salary.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-16w5gq9\">Jadon Sancho, another of United\u2019s wingers, is being monitored by Fenerbahce. The 25-year-old has spent the last season and a half on loan at Borussia Dortmund and Chelsea.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Barcelona are eyeing a loan move for Marcus Rashford, with the 27-year-old\u2019s flexibility across the frontline viewed as&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":212440,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4100],"tags":[94,79,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-212439","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-football","8":"tag-football","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114742580007105807","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/212439","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=212439"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/212439\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/212440"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=212439"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=212439"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=212439"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
