Marcus Rashford’s recent lack of playing time has sparked fresh concerns in the Spanish media about his future at FC Barcelona beyond the current campaign.
The England national football team forward had been expected to remain at the club after an impressive start to life in Catalunya, but his influence has dipped in recent weeks, fueling speculation over what comes next.
A report from Marca, titled “Something’s going on with Rashford,” points out that he has not played a single minute in Barcelona’s last two matches—something they describe as unusual under manager Hansi Flick.
His form has also come under scrutiny. Rashford has managed just three goals and one assist in his last 15 appearances, a drop-off from the seven goals and eight assists he recorded in the previous 20 games.
The report adds that Barcelona are still keeping a close eye on Abde Ezzalzouli and Dani Rodríguez Virgili, while also scouting Andreas Schjelderup of SL Benfica.
Meanwhile, Diario AS has also weighed in, suggesting that “the continuity of the English striker could be in danger,” noting that he may remain on the bench due to the return to form and fitness of Raphinha.
Just a few weeks ago, Rashford’s future at Barcelona seemed almost certain, but the narrative has since shifted. He will be hoping for minutes against Rayo Vallecano this weekend before linking up with England for upcoming friendlies against Uruguay and Japan.
