Spanish giants Barcelona could reportedly pursue a move for Chelsea star Christopher Nkunku if they fail to sign Marcus Rashford from Manchester United.

Chelsea are interested in Ethan Nwaneri, Max Dowman and Morgan Rogers, and could offload Nicolas Jackson as prepare to step up a mass summer-clear out of unwanted players. Manchester United are being linked with Jackson as they look to finally wrap up the signing of Bryan Mbeumo.

Barcelona’s approach is, in MARCA’s words, “two-sided and without urgency.” The chase for Athletic Club’s Nico Williams fell flat after the player rejected their offer and renewed in Bilbao. Now, the spotlight is firmly on two names. Marcus Rashford is said to be Flick’s new favourite, while the pursuit of Díaz is more layered and unclear.

Manchester United are struggling to sell Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho, and Antony. One of the main reasons is a lack of interest due to oversupply and wage demands.
