Barça: Deco drops a hint about Rashford
FC Barcelona is thoroughly enjoying the loan spell of Marcus Rashford, and Deco is no longer hiding it. In an interview with The Times and The Sunday Times, the Blaugrana sporting director revealed the behind-the-scenes details of this unexpected signing, praising "a fantastic player" who, according to him, "is happy at FC Barcelona". The former Portuguese midfielder emphasized the Englishman's maturity, reminding that
"Marcus Rashford had to take on a leadership role very early at one of the biggest clubs in the world—it's not that simple."
Deco also explained that Barça was looking for "a player capable of covering all three attacking positions" and that Rashford joined the club thanks to "his desire to come to Barça." Despite economic constraints, he added,
"he was patient... he waited, and we're delighted to welcome him."
Wearing the Blaugrana shirt, Rashford is living up to expectations so far: 6 goals and 8 assists across all competitions. An impressive start that suggests this loan could turn out to be one of Barça's best moves in recent seasons.
