Marca: Barça seek Rashford alternative; Abde & Virgili on list

According to Marca, if Barcelona cannot buy out Rashford, they will look for another attacker, and Abde and Jan Virgili have attracted their interest.

The report states that despite the ongoing elections, Barcelona is still planning for next season. The forward line is a highly uncertain position, as they are looking for a center forward in case Lewandowski leaves this summer.

Another potential change is at the left wing. Barcelona's current priority is undoubtedly to buy Rashford outright. They have already reached an agreement with Manchester United for €30 million and have agreed on his salary.

The report states that whether or not to buy Rashford outright depends on Barcelona's final decision, but this also hinges on the appointment of the new president. If Laporta is elected, all indications suggest the buyout of Rashford will be completed.

However, the management is also considering other options in case the Rashford deal falls through. One of these is Abde, whom Barcelona still owns 20%, making him a very cost-effective option, and possibly even more attractive than Rashford.

Another player who could join Barcelona is Jan Virgili, who had an outstanding first season at Mallorca, and Barcelona owns 50% of Jan Virgili.
