Virgili hasn’t failed to impress either, notably racking up six assists in his debut La Liga campaign. At 19, the youngster knows Barcelona well and could be an exciting alternative to Rashford.

Abde, on the other hand, had made 14 appearances for Barça before joining Real Betis in 2023. At Betis, the Moroccan has racked up almost 50 goal involvements, making him one of the most productive players at the club in recent years.

Barcelona are looking at other options, including Norwegian prodigy Andreas Schjelderup. Currently plying his trade for Benfica, Schjelderup has impressed onlookers with his creativity on the flanks and is brimming with potential.

Finally, Barcelona are looking at Victor Munoz, who is also a former member of La Masia. Munoz has been the rising star in La Liga this season, particularly making an impression through his dribbling skills and productivity.

However, Barcelona may have their hands tied in the Munoz pursuit as Real Madrid certain clauses that can help them block a potential return to Catalonia.
