Barcelona draw up 4-man Marcus Rashford replacement shortlist

La Liga giants Barcelona are considering a quarter of players as potential replacements for Marcus Rashford in the club’s first-team ranks next season.

This comes amid ongoing uncertainty surrounding the Englishman’s long-term future in Catalunya’s capital.

Frontman Rashford has of course spent the season to date plying his trade on loan with Hansi Flick’s squad.

And though the overall level of his performances have at times been questioned, the 28-year-old’s numbers, in a rotational role, have been more than solid.

All told, Rashford has racked up 25 direct goal contributions across 43 appearances.

Such production, though, has not yet proven sufficient to guarantee the Manchester United man’s continuity for next season.

Whilst the Camp Nou brass have not yet ruled out making a permanent move for Rashford, they are also considering a number of alternative options.

As per a report from Mundo Deportivo, this shortlist of winger targets includes all of the following:

Jan Virgili (Mallorca), Víctor Muñoz (Osasuna), Abde Ezzalzouli (Real Betis), and (Benfica).
