Barcelona have turned their attention back to Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford, while Arsenal continue to make progress in their bid to sign Viktor Gyökeres. Join us for the latest transfer news,

The justification for this shift in stance—less than six weeks ago, Deco explicitly named Rashford as a player Barcelona “liked”—is the preference for Liverpool forward Luis Díaz. The Colombia international is deemed to be more versatile, more experienced and more willing to sacrifice himself for the good of the team than Rashford.

The Man Utd forward ‘believes the best place to develop is at Barça, alongside Lamine Yamal, to earn a place in the England squad for next summer’s World Cup’. While the Red Devils have a new asking price of ‘between €45 and €50 million for their player, while Barça won’t pay more than €40 million for Rashford’.
