The news is rather good for FC Barcelona , who will formalize the arrival of Marcus Rashford in the coming hours. Already present in Barcelona for the traditional medical tests and the signing of his contract, the Englishman will try to relaunch himself during this loan in Catalan soil. An exciting arrival for the player, but also for Hansi Flick, who had validated his arrival and had wanted to have him under his orders for a while already.
But, as is often the case at FC Barcelona, there is a problem. And not a minor one, since the English striker cannot yet register with La Liga . The same problem as with Dani Olmo last season, in fact. The club is still not in compliance with La Liga's Financial Fair Play regulations, and even if the final sale of Camp Nou VIP seats should help, it will also have to sell.
Barça must slim down
And there are two candidates for a departure. First, Pau Victor . Superdeporte reports that Valencia are interested in signing the 23-year-old striker. The Ches have made a loan offer, but the Catalan club wants a permanent sale of the player, whom they could let go for just a few million euros. Beyond the financial logic, the arrival of a new striker definitely closes the doors for him up front, as he only started twice in La Liga last season. Iñaki Peña is in a similar situation, and the goalkeeper is coveted by several La Liga clubs. His sale could also bring in a nice little check.
Then there's Christensen. He's currently the player Barça is counting on the most to trim his waistline. With a contract expiring in a year and a relatively high salary considering his status in the team hierarchy, his departure wouldn't be too serious from a sporting perspective and would free up wages in line with La Liga's Financial Fair Play regulations. With these departures and the final sale of Camp Nou VIP seats, Barcelona shouldn't have any trouble signing Rashford.
