Barcelona not interested in Man United forward despite redemption in La Liga this season – report | OneFootball

Barcelona’s desire to sign a new attacker has been well-documented so far, with the club particularly keen on the services of two Premier League forwards.

The two players in question are Luis Diaz and Marcus Rashford. While Diaz was always thought to be expensive, Man United have now slapped a €40 million price tag on Rashford as well.

Whether or not this will prompt Barcelona to shift their attention to another alternative in the market remains to be seen. But one player they are definitely not targeting is Antony.

Barcelona not interested in Antony

A recent report from Diario SPORT has offered an update on the future of two Manchester United forwards in Rashford and Antony.

The report reiterates that Man United have indeed put a high price on Rashford. But it has also revealed that Man United are seeking just €35 million for Antony

This is quite a reasonable sum for a player who has redeemed himself in La Liga. Indeed, the Brazilian, after a poor spell at Man United, joined Real Betis on loan last summer.

He hasn’t had to look back since, emerging as one of Real Betis’ key difference-makers in the attack this season, with a tally of nine goals and five assists for Los Beticos.

However, the report clarifies that Barcelona are not interested in the services of Antony despite his redeeming form in La Liga this season.

It appears the Catalans are more interested in signing Rashford, a player Hansi Flick considers more versatile and suited to Barcelona’s game.

This is despite the fact that valuations do seem more attractive for Antony, who is younger and has already proven himself in La Liga. But as mentioned earlier, Barça are focusing on experience and tactical flexibility, more than anything else.
