Barcelona have started early this summer. Their manager Hansi Flick wants fresh energy in attack, and the club is moving fast to back him.

After a successful season where Barcelona looked the most threatening side when they had the ball in possession, they are looking to bring more attacking options.

Lamine Yamal and Raphinha were outstanding last season, but Flick wants more variety.

Talks have already started with a big name from England. The player is someone who knows how to perform in Europe.

Hansi Flick wants someone who can play across the front line and break through defences with pace and power.

The player in question has been watched by Barcelona for some time.

Last season, he split his time between Manchester United and a loan spell at Aston Villa.

His year was up and down, but the talent was still there.

He finished with 11 goals and 9 assists in all competitions.

Most of his best moments came during the second half of the season.

In the Champions League, he stood out with two assists in just four games for Villa.

Barca believe he is the right kind of risk. He is a player who can thrive in a new environment with the right coach behind him.

Flick is a fan and sees him fitting perfectly into his attacking plans.

According to Matteo Moretto, Barcelona are now ready to make contact for Marcus Rashford.

The 27-year-old has a contract with Manchester United until 2028.

But the idea of a new chapter in Spain interests him. His price is said to be around £43m million.

Barcelona have not made a formal bid yet, but are ready to make contact.

If things go well financially, Rashford could be wearing the Blaugrana shirt soon.
