"Barcelona are currently locked in a battle with Real Madrid for the La Liga title and sit one point ahead of their bitter rivals with 21 gameweeks in the books. With the pair well clear of third-placed Atletico Madrid, it looks like another two-horse race is on the cards and one that could go all the way to the wire."
"Flick is likely to have a lengthy shopping list this summer, with a centre-back and striker two priorities, while the club will also make a decision on Marcus Rashford, who is spending the season on loan at the Camp Nou. The Manchester United man has netted eight times and dished up 12 assists this season, with his loan deal containing an option to buy, but should Barca pull the trigger, Rashford may not be the only player swapping Manchester for Catalonia."
"The Portuguese international is into the final six months of his contract at the Etihad, with the expectation being that he will not sign new terms with the Premier League side. However, the report claims that the Barcelona hierarchy do not have plans to sign the 31-year-old, as their current batch of midfielders - including the likes of Pedri, Frenkie de Jong, Gavi, Marc Casado and Marc Bernal - have the backing of the team at this point."
Barcelona lead Real Madrid by one point after 21 La Liga matchweeks and remain in a two-horse title race. Hansi Flick is focused on defending the title while the club prepares a summer transfer plan prioritizing a centre-back and a striker. The club will decide on Marcus Rashford’s future after his loan where he has scored eight goals and provided 12 assists; his deal includes an option to buy. Manchester City’s Bernardo Silva is reportedly interested in joining Barcelona as his Etihad contract enters its final six months, but Barcelona currently have no plans to sign him given midfield depth including Pedri, Frenkie de Jong, Gavi, Marc Casado and Marc Bernal.
