FC Barcelona legend and Brazilian World Cup champion Rivaldo has expressed his support for the potential signing of Marcus Rashford, believing the English forward could be a pivotal addition to Hansi Flick's squad. Rivaldo highlighted Rashford’s talent, versatility, and ability to thrive in a demanding calendar as key reasons for his backing.

“Rashford would fit perfectly into this team. He’s a great player, and Barça needs reinforcements to tackle so many important commitments,” said Rivaldo. The former Barça star emphasized Rashford’s skill in one-on-one situations and his adaptability to various attacking roles, which could make him an ideal solution to strengthen Barcelona’s offensive lineup.

Renewed Interest in Rashford

While rumors linking Rashford to Barcelona are not new, recent talks between his representatives and Deco, Barcelona’s sporting director, have intensified. Rivaldo believes that both the club and the player would benefit from the move, particularly given Rashford’s inconsistent form at Manchester United.

“A signing like Rashford would help build a more competitive team and provide crucial options in a season full of challenges,” Rivaldo added.

Focus on LaLiga and European Goals

With Barcelona having secured qualification for the Champions League round of 16, Rivaldo urged the club to focus on LaLiga and solidify their domestic position. He noted that Rashford’s arrival could give the team a much-needed boost to compete on multiple fronts.

At 27 years old, Rashford still has plenty to offer and stands out as an attractive option for Barça’s offensive reinforcement. However, the move will depend on negotiations with Manchester United and the financial viability of the deal for the Catalan club.
