Barcelona are eager for one of their wingers to leave before the closure of the transfer window.

Hansi Flick's side are interested in a potential loan move for Manchester United's Marcus Rashford.

Barcelona face competition from Borussia Dortmund for Rashford but may only be able to press ahead with a deal if a player departs first.

The Catalan club could be helped by Jose Mourinho, who is eager to sign a new winger for Fenerbahce.

Fenerbahce have started negotiations to terminate Allan Saint-Maximin's loan from Al-Ahli, having been unhappy with his performances so far.

That could lead to Mourinho attempting to bring in the player that Barcelona want to depart.

As reported by Marca, Barcelona are eager for Ansu Fati to leave the club.

Previously regarded as one of the standout youngsters in world football, Fati has endured much misfortune with injuries in recent years.

The 22-year-old, who had a loan spell at Brighton last season, has made just four appearances in LaLiga this season, with injuries not helping his cause.

Fati isn't a major part of Hansi Flick's plans, with the Barcelona boss having informed him of the situation. 

Although Fati's contract runs until the summer of 2027 it is widely expected that he will leave Barcelona before then.

As reported by AS, Mourinho wants to sign Fati on loan for Fenerbahce and it is anticipated that a deal would include a purchase option.

Fenerbahce plan to start negotiations immediately for Fati if Saint-Maximin leaves.

In total, Fati has made 120 appearances for Barcelona, while he has scored 29 goals and has provided nine assists.

Meanwhile, Rashford's future remains uncertain going into the closing stages of the transfer window.

The 27-year-old has been heavily linked with a loan switch to Barcelona.
