And the fact is that Hansi Flick has approved and talked with Rashford since January, meaning this is since the issue about Nico William is still hyped in Barcelona, right? It means Hansi Flick already knows that Nico will not go to Barcelona and as said that Hansi Flick is indeed looking for players who are available and strong in several positions.

However, if Rashford can become a superior player, it's not impossible that he will earn a place in the first team at Barcelona. I feel Rashford will be truly relied upon at some point at Barcelona. He hasn't been able to show his best at his previous club, and I think he will be able to do that at Barcelona.
And Rashford must also know this, as he's already spoken about it. So, he's prepared for this. Even though he won't be a first-choice player right now, he surely sees that he'll have a good opportunity eventually. Rashford is incredibly fortunate to be joining Barcelona.
With this, Barcelona got another new player in the transfer market after previously Barcelona got a new goalkeeper from Espanyol, namely Joan Garcia.
