One key figure at Barcelona is against summer signing

Barcelona sporting director Deco is directly opposed to the club bringing in Marcus Rashford from Manchester United this summer.

That’s according to Blaugrana insider Javier Miguel of Diario AS, who has late this week provided an insight into the situation.

The name of wide-man Rashford has of course proven a prominent one in the headlines in Catalunya’s capital for some time now.

This comes, first, after Barcelona tried and failed to bring the 27-year-old in on loan during the January transfer window.

Still on the lookout for reinforcements on the left flank for next season, Joan Laporta and co, in turn, have earmarked Rashford as a potential addition once more this summer.

Hansi Flick, for his part, is understood to be in favour of the move, a huge fan of the Englishman’s talents.

As alluded to above, however, amid as much, one key figure in the Camp Nou boardroom is continuing to oppose a Rashford swoop.

As per a report from the aforementioned Javier Miguel:

‘Deco remains the main obstacle in the Rashford operation. There are still significant discrepancies in the Sporting Committee regarding the attacking reinforcement. The priority now is on departures to free up salary space.’
