Big turning point for Rashford

Coach Hansi Flick is planning to experiment with Marcus Rashford in a centre-forward role at Barcelona, ​​making a notable change in the team's tactics.

Rashford is enjoying his time in Spain.

According to Mundo Deportivo , the idea of ​​​​playing Rashford as a center forward has been cherished by coach Flick for a long time. However, in the early stages of the season, the England striker was mainly used on the wings.

According to the plan, if Rashford is ready, coach Flick can test him in this new role in the upcoming match against Girona in La Liga. This move shows the flexibility in Flick's tactical thinking, aiming to exploit Rashford's potential.

Under the guidance of coach Flick, the 27-year-old star scored 3 goals and 5 assists after 10 matches since the beginning of the season. He brought speed, technique and explosiveness that the "Blaugrana" attack lacked.

After Rashford's brilliant performance recently, the Catalan team considered activating the clause to buy him outright in the January 2026 transfer window, instead of waiting until the end of the season.

Rashford decided to take a 30% pay cut to play for Barcelona this summer. In return, the Camp Nou team will pay the English striker's entire 12.8 million euro/year income instead of sharing a percentage with MU. However, if he wants to be bought by Barca, Rashford is expected to have to reduce his current salary by at least 50%, equivalent to about 6.5 million euro/season.
