Once linked with high-profile moves, he is now focused on gaining experience elsewhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regarding the club&#8217;s transfer activity, Barcelona sporting director Deco admitted that the 27-year-old was a potential option. &#8220;It&#8217;s true, we were talking about Marcus Rashford and it was a possible signing\u2026 but he couldn&#8217;t come,&#8221; he told reporters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the former midfielder insisted that Barcelona were not in urgent need of reinforcements. &#8220;We weren&#8217;t desperately looking for a signing. He was not a priority,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The fact that Rashford was mentioned in Barcelona&#8217;s transfer talks underlines the continued interest from Europe&#8217;s top clubs in his talent, despite his current situation at Manchester United.<br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Barcelona sporting director Deco has confirmed that the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":682,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-681","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/681","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=681"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/681\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":683,"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/681\/revisions\/683"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/682"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=681"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=681"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=681"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
