Spanish media reported that Jeremy Doku had expressed his desire for Barcelona to sign him on loan for the rest of the season. However, Doku's agent denied this, stating that the claims about him being offered to Barcelona were not true. According to the Catalan outlet Sport, Doku had supposedly put himself forward as an alternative to Manchester United's Marcus Rashford, aiming for more playing time and to regain his confidence. Belgian journalist Sacha Tavolieri confirmed the denial from Doku's camp, stressing that the forward is focused on recovering from his injury and contributing to Manchester City.
