Barcelona face Fenerbahce competition for key target as Mourinho eyes reunion | OneFootball

Big transfer news is coming out of Turkey as reports from Fanatik reveal that Fenerbahce manager Jose Mourinho is pushing to sign Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford.

The English forward, who is also on Barcelona’s radar after their failed pursuit of Nico Williams, could soon become one of this summer’s hottest topics.

Rashford’s future at Manchester United looks very uncertain, and clubs across Europe are watching his situation closely.

Mourinho can play a big role

According to Fanatik, Fenerbahce’s main goal this summer is to strengthen their attack on the wings. The club initially focused on signing Jadon Sancho, but with the player reportedly closer to Juventus, they have shifted their attention to Rashford.

Reports say that Mourinho has already met with several of Fenerbahce’s targets personally, and he plans to speak directly to Rashford if talks between the clubs move forward.

Barcelona focused on Luis Diaz

Meanwhile, Barcelona remain interested in Rashford, especially after Nico turned down a move to Camp Nou by signing a new contract with Athletic Club.

However, the Blaugrana’s top priority is still Luis Diaz from Liverpool. The problem for Barça is that Diaz’s transfer could cost a fortune, and Bayern Munich are also pushing hard to sign the Colombian star, making the deal even more difficult.

As for Rashford, he has not yet received any official offers from other clubs. Fenerbahce’s main plan is to bring him in on a loan deal, which would help them manage the financial side of the transfer.

With Mourinho eager to add quality to his squad and Rashford in need of a fresh start, this move could suit both parties perfectly.

Barcelona, on the other hand, will have to act quickly if they decide to switch their focus back to Rashford, especially with Fenerbahce already making moves to secure the talented forward.
