‘Barça of leftovers’: The two Real Madrid castoffs who are set for Barcelona

The two players Real Madrid rejected and are now targets for Barcelona

The transfer markets have become a torment for Barcelona for years. Its severe financial crisis prevents the club from making the multimillion-dollar signings it was used to a few years ago. This has led, according to what we know at Defensa Central, to Barcelona considering moves for Rashford and Dumfries.

The English forward has already been on Real Madrid's radar in the past. However, his signing never materialized due to the inconsistency that has always characterized Rashford. In light of this, the player shifted his focus to Barcelona, a club that will only be able to count on him through a loan and not a transfer.

Denzel Dumfries's case is also noteworthy due to the information provided by the newspaper AS. Dumfries's release clause with Inter Milan is €25 million. This is a low value for a player who was responsible for Barcelona's most recent elimination from the Champions League.

After Real Madrid's leftovers

At 27 years old, Marcus Rashford is no longer the great prospect of Manchester United. Although he has managed to have quite impressive seasons, the Englishman has never managed to reach his full potential. Currently, Rashford is a player who no longer has anyone's trust to become the footballer he promised to be years ago.

Despite this, Barcelona has decided to carry out his loan to strengthen the left back position. This is a surprising move that shows Barcelona's current state. Instead of signing a prospect or a good player, the club is signing a clear disappointment.

Denzel Dumfries, meanwhile, has achieved great things as Inter Milan's right back. Real Madrid once saw him as a top-level reinforcement for future seasons. However, the Dutchman was outperformed by Trent Alexander-Arnold.

Barcelona's reality

With Rashford practically secured and Dumfries on its list, Barcelona has once again shown its current state. In its eagerness to compete against Real Madrid's major signings, the Culers are signing nothing but castoffs whose level raises doubts.
