Marcus Rashford transfer to Atletico Madrid
Spanish press reports indicated that Atletico Madrid is interested in signing the English international striker Marcus Rashford, who currently plays for Barcelona.
Atletico aims to strengthen its attacking lineup in pursuit of competing for titles and championships this season, while Rashford remains a suitable option as he is no longer a first-choice player under his German coach Hansi Flick at Barcelona.
While Barcelona has not yet finalized Rashford's status, who is on loan from Manchester United, the website "Fichajes" confirmed that Atletico Madrid is monitoring the player's situation in an effort to sign him.
Rashford has played 23 matches for Barcelona across all competitions, scoring 7 goals and providing 11 assists.
A return of Rashford to Manchester United seems unlikely given that his Portuguese coach Ruben Amorim refused to keep him in his plans last summer.
