Barcelona’s Sporting Director, Deco, has expressed the club’s interest in signing wingers, specifically mentioning Luis Diaz and Marcus Rashford. According to Deco, the Catalan club is keen on strengthening their winger positions, stating that they “like other wingers too”. However, Deco was cautious in his comments, noting that “we can’t talk about players under contract with other clubs”, a clear reference to Rashford’s current status at Manchester United.
Rashford, who plays as a winger, has been linked with a transfer to Barcelona on several occasions. The 26-year-old England international has played for Manchester United throughout his career, with his current contract being a subject of speculation. With according to previous reports, Barcelona had considered signing Rashford in February 2025, with Deco confirming the transfer talks at the time. Manchester United’s manager, Rúben Amorim, has praised Rashford’s progress, highlighting his development as a player. Rashford is known for his speed, a trait that has impressed managers like Arne Slot in the past.
Diaz, another winger mentioned by Deco, has been an established player in the football scene, known for his pace and skill on the wing. While Deco’s comments have sparked speculation about potential transfers, no official announcements have been made by Barcelona regarding the signing of Rashford or Diaz. Manchester United had an option to trigger a £40m clause in Rashford’s contract, but Aston Villa’s interest in the player had reportedly made the club hesitant to do so in April 2025.
