The 'Blaugrana' need to make space to ensure they can cover the Englishman's elevated salary. Andres Christensen returned to the Barcelona squad on January 18 after a five-month absence with injury, but his time with the 'Blaugrana' may not go much further than that. According to 'Mundo Deportivo', Barca have put the Dane on the market to offload him before the end of the January transfer window.
Despite Rashford's willingness to reduce his salary to join them, Barcelona would still have to make space for his arrival. €6 million is the amount of money the club will reportedly have to free up before the end of the winter session. Ansu Fati was initially targeted as the man to sacrifice, with reports talking about a potential swap deal with the United player. However, his reluctance to leave tied with his consistently poor performance, have ruled him out as an option.
