Barcelona Transfer Update: Rashford Deal in Place, Liverpool Star Targeted & Simons Reunion on Hold – July 19, 2025 🔄🔵🔴

Barcelona continue building on their momentum under head coach Hansi Flick, who delivered a domestic treble last season. Now, with their sights firmly set on European glory, the Catalan club is making strategic moves in the transfer market.
✅ Rashford Set for Barcelona Switch
Reports suggest Barcelona have reached a loan agreement with Manchester United for Marcus Rashford. The English attacker, who has fallen down the pecking order at Old Trafford, is poised for a fresh start in Spain.
Barcelona had initially targeted Nico Williams to strengthen their left flank, but after he opted to renew with Athletic Bilbao, they swiftly turned their attention to Rashford. The 27-year-old is reportedly eager to join the Spanish giants, and all signs point to the deal being finalized soon. A medical in Barcelona is expected in the coming days, with the loan including a clause to make the move permanent next year.
👀 Darwin Núñez on Barça’s Radar
Barcelona are also monitoring Liverpool forward Darwin Núñez, according to sources close to the situation. The Uruguayan international hasn’t quite met expectations at Anfield, and Liverpool are believed to be open to letting him go for around €70 million.
While Núñez has attracted strong interest from Middle Eastern clubs, Barcelona and AC Milan are also reportedly in the mix. No formal bid has been made yet, but the Blaugrana are believed to be weighing up their options.
🛑 Simons Return Not Happening… Yet
Xavi Simons could return to where it all began – but not just yet. The young Dutch star, who came through Barcelona’s La Masia academy, is said to be interested in a reunion. Talks have reportedly taken place between his representatives and Barcelona sporting director Deco.
However, financial limitations mean a deal is unlikely this summer. Simons, currently shining at RB Leipzig, remains on Barça’s radar, but fans may have to wait a little longer to see him back at Camp Nou.
