Barcelona's footballing dreams seem to have hit an untimely challenge. Sky Sports have revealed that despite the pursuit of Manchester United star Marcus Rashford being as hot as fire, the high salary threshold has become a huge barrier between them.
The addition of Rashford, the England international, should have been a booster for Barcelona, but the club's tight financial strings no longer allow them to push the button on reinforcements so easily. The registration issues of Olmo and Pau Victor have yet to be resolved, and the financial pressure is like a dark cloud over Barcelona's prospects.
Meanwhile, Bayern Munich and Fenerbahce are not shy about their love for Rashford and plan to bring him into the fold when the winter transfer window opens. But in the face of Barcelona's fierce attack, these two clubs also feel unprecedented pressure.
In order to alleviate the urgent need for funds, Barcelona senior management is looking around for new investors. However, I am afraid that this process is difficult to blossom in the short term, and it seems that Barcelona's attraction road will continue to be hindered by financial problems.
