Manchester United are currently seriously considering signing the ‘lightning’ Paris Saint-Germain star, with the possibility of making a surprise swap deal for Marcus Rashford.
Rashford breaks loan move to Barcelona
Rashford has continued to improve since joining Barcelona on loan in the summer, scoring six goals and providing 10 assists in all competitions, but it was recently revealed that the forward is not expected to make his stay at Camp Nou permanent.
However, the Englishman is likely to have plenty of options next summer, with Chelsea revealed to be holding talks over a potential deal, while Tottenham Hotspur are determined to win the race to sign the 28-year-old and give him a leading role.
It’s hard to imagine a path back for the United academy graduate at Old Trafford given his fractious relationship with Ruben Amorim, but it has now emerged that the manager could let him leave at the end of the season in another way.
Man United are currently seriously considering signing PSG forward Bradley Barcola, according to reports from Spain, with the possibility of a surprise swap deal and Rashford being released in the opposite direction.
Barcola’s negotiations with the French club over a new contract are currently at an impasse, potentially opening the door for a move to Old Trafford, but his current employers are extremely reluctant to allow him to leave.
With a market value of around €70m (about £61m), signing the Frenchman will be an expensive one, but there are signs that he could be worth every penny…
‘Lightning fast’ Barcola impresses in Ligue 1 and Europe
Hailed as “lightning-fast” by journalist Raj Chohan, the PSG star has been top performer in both Ligue 1 and the Champions League this season, regularly contributing with goals and assists.
competition | Appearance | Contribution to goal |
Ligue 1 | 12 | 6 |
champions league | 5 | 2 |
The 23-year-old played a key role in the French team’s first Champions League win last season, scoring three goals and providing four assists in 17 appearances.
Manchester United appear to have made a good addition to their squad over the summer, with new forward Matheus Cunha providing an assist in the 4-1 win against Wolverhampton Wanderers, and Brian Mbeumo has already scored six goals in the Premier League.

However, the Red Devils may need more depth in attack as they aim to return to Europe next season and Barcola should try to negotiate a replacement deal that includes Rashford as he could be a great addition to Amorim’s side.
