- At the moment, FC Barcelona intends to exercise the option to buy Marcus Rashford, having agreed a 30 million euro fee and salary terms with Manchester United, with only a final decision pending.

- Another fallback is Jan Virgili, who was sold last summer for 3.5 million and is excelling at Mallorca, with Barcelona retaining 50% of his rights.
- Facing potential big spending, FC Barcelona may forgo the €30 million Rashford purchase and pivot to Abde or Virgili, with final decision pending amid the election.
