Alternative option? Rashford s self-recommendation of Barcelona was coldly accepted, Liverpool s sharp knife is the first goal

On June 16, Spain's World Sports Daily broke the news that Manchester United's youth training prince Rashford showed Barcelona a strong desire to join, hoping that the latter would regard himself as the first choice for signing. However, his idea seemed wishful thinking. Because Barcelona's first goal to strengthen the left winger is still Liverpool player Louis Diaz.

Barcelona has basically finalized the joining of Joan Garcia, and the problem of goalkeeper strengthening has been solved. Their first goal next is the winger position. Luis Dias, Nico Williams, Rashford and veteran Perisic are all signing targets for Barcelona. Among them, Rashford still has very obvious economic advantages in Barcelona's signing considerations.

As an outstanding representative of Manchester United's youth training, Rashford was once regarded as the cornerstone of the Red Devils' revival. However, his growth not only did not meet expectations, but was also thrown into the cold palace by Manchester United's new coach Amorin because of his lazy style. He was sent to Aston Villa for the winter window last season. Although Rashford's performance in Villa Park Stadium has rebounded a bit, Villa still chose to return the product after the end of the season.

The key is that Manchester United's team building plan no longer has the position of Rashford, which has forced him to find his next home this summer, and Barcelona is the next home that Rashford is most eager to join. For this reason, he is willing to accept a significant salary cut, and Manchester United certainly won't set too many obstacles for his departure. In addition, Rashford can play in multiple positions such as left winger, center and even shadow forward on the court. His comprehensive skills can also provide more choices and flexibility for Barcelona's offense.

However, even so, Barcelona still responded coldly to Rashford's active self-recommendation, because their number one target for signing was Liverpool's sharp knife Louis Diaz. For Barcelona sports director Deco, this is not the first time he has listed the Colombian as the first choice for signings. Last summer, Barcelona actively sought to buy Louis Diaz but failed.

28-year-old Louis Diaz has played for Liverpool for two and a half seasons, playing in 148 games in total, earning 41 goals and 23 assists, and is the absolute main candidate for Liverpool's left winger position. Last season, he scored 17 goals and 5 assists in 50 games, making him the third scorer in the team. The Colombia winger's role in the offense and breakthrough pass are also indispensable.

However, the weekly salary of 55,000 pounds made Louis Dias the player with the lowest income on Liverpool's forward line, and Garkepo, ranked second from the bottom, also reached 120,000 pounds, more than twice his. And this also made Louis Dias feel that he was not respected. So in the face of Barcelona's invitation, the Colombian scorer is very happy.

Of course, Liverpool will not let people go easily. They marked the price of 80 million euros for Louis Dias, while Barcelona is only willing to pay 60 million euros at most. The differences between the two sides are still quite large. If Luis Dias is unable to sign in the end, Barcelona also has Nico Williams to choose, and Rashford has to continue waiting.
