Former Real Madrid star offers himself to Barcelona

Barcelona are combing the winter transfer market for a versatile striker who can play in all three attacking positions and the Catalan club are said to be targeting Manchester United’s Rashford.

But Sport reported that a surprise player has offered himself to Laporta through his Portuguese agent Jorge Mendes and is ready to join the Catalan club in the current transfer window.

According to the aforementioned newspaper, Marco Asensio, the former Real Madrid star and current Paris Saint-Germain player, has been offered to Barcelona to sign in January.

The 29-year-old has been a doubt for PSG due to his inconsistent form and limited playing time, and his future has become even more uncertain after the French club signed Kvaratskhelia from Napoli.

Mendes offered Barcelona Asensio on loan until the end of the season and Deco and Laporta did not reject the offer but put him on the waiting list until the Rashford deal was decided.
