FC BARCELONA EYES MARCUS RASHFORD OR RICHARLISON AS SUAREZ REPLACEMENT

Barcelona have voiced their admiration for Premier League stars, Marcus Rashford and Richarlison as they are seen as potential candidates to replace Luis Suarez.

The La Liga-leaders have been actively pursuing an understudy for their 32-year-old striker who has been struggling with persistent knee injuries over the past couple of years.

Manchester United’s 21-year-old Rashford has scored 12 goals in all competitions this season, has emerged as one of Barcelona’s targets. Rashford is a local junior who came through the ranks at Old Trafford and it is extremely unlikely the club would even entertain an offer.

Everton forward Richarlison, who has become a mainstay in the Brazil national team since his £40 million move from Watford to Goodison Park last year, is also interesting the Catalan side, ESPN are reporting. The Toffees star is also 21-years-old and has scored 13 goals in all competitions and would present a vastly cheaper option to Rashford.

They have also been strongly linked with Eintracht Frankfurt’s Luka Jovic and Celta Vigo’s Maxi Gomes.
