Rashford has recently found himself out of favor at Manchester United, with manager Ruben Amorim citing his lack of effort in training as the reason for his omission from the squad. The 27-year-old English forward has expressed his desire for a new challenge, and a move to Barcelona could provide him with the opportunity to revive his career.
Fati, on the other hand, has failed to live up to expectations at Barcelona, struggling with injuries and poor form. The Spanish forward has only played seven games this season, failing to register a goal or an assist. A change of scenery could be beneficial for Fati, who needs to regain his confidence and show his potential.
While Manchester United are interested in offloading Rashford, their interest in Fati is unclear. The club has historically been attracted to the player, but his recent performances have diminished his reputation in the football world. During his loan spell at Brighton and Hove Albion last season, Fati scored only four goals in 30 appearances.
Barcelona's sporting director, Deco, is reportedly working on the swap deal, which has the approval of manager Hansi Flick. The deal could provide a fresh start for both players, and potentially benefit both clubs but it is unclear whether the deal will go through.
