Bayern Should Hijack Barcelona’s Move For Rashford – Hamann

Bayern Munich should do everything possible to hijack Barcelona’s move for Marcus Rashford, Dietmar Hamann has said. This comes as the Bavarian giants eye Newcastle’s Anthony Gordon as the club looks to bolster its frontline, and fans have been reacting.

Stressing that Rashford would be a brilliant signing for just €30 million (£26m/$35m), Hamann expressed his admiration for the England forward’s technical ability and potential for a career resurgence.

Dietmar added that Rashford clearly offers superior versatility compared to a player like Gordon.

His words, “Should Bayern go in for Marcus Rashford? 100%. I love the player. I think he’s a brilliant player. I’m a bit surprised by what’s happening because I saw him early on when he went to Barcelona. He scored some brilliant goals and linked up well with the team.

He’s got great technique, a brilliant shooting technique, and a brilliant strike on him. He’s quick off the mark. He’s certainly a player, I think, if you want a player who plays pretty much every position up top.

With Bayern Munich, I would have much preferred him, my choice, ahead of Anthony Gordon because, you know, with Gordon, I think he’s just too good to be a backup. But I think Rashford, who needs to or wants to rekindle his career in a way after bursting onto the scene at Manchester United, I think he’s a brilliant player, and for 25 or 30 million, I think Bayern could do an awful lot worse.”

WOW.

Futbol Club Barcelona is a professional football club based in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain, that competes in La Liga, the top flight of Spanish football.

Founded in 1899 by a group of Swiss, Catalan, German, and English footballers led by Joan Gamper, the club has become a symbol of Catalan culture and Catalanism, hence the motto “Més que un club” (“More than a club”). Unlike many other football clubs, the supporters own and operate Barcelona. It is the third-most valuable sports team in the world, worth $5.51 billion, and the world’s fourth richest football club in terms of revenue, with an annual turnover of €582.1 million.

The official Barcelona anthem is the “Cant del Barça”, written by Jaume Picas and Josep Maria Espinàs. Barcelona traditionally play in dark shades of blue and garnet stripes, hence nicknamed Blaugrana.

In March 2021, Lionel Messi overtook Xavi’s record of 767 games played for the club, and presently has made 778 official appearances in all competitions, while also holding the record for the most appearances in La Liga matches for Barcelona, with 520.
