Marcus Rashford’s future is already being discussed between Barcelona and Manchester United. After losing favour with head coach Ruben Amorim, Rashford is presently lighting up La Liga on loan until next summer.
In 13 La Liga and Champions League games, the 28-year-old has five goals and seven assists. Rashford may be acquired by Barcelona for £28 million, which is much less than the £40 million that United would seek from other potential buyers.
Rashford’s future at Old Trafford seems uncertain even though he has more than two and a half years remaining on his contract. According to reports, Barcelona is already getting ready for Rashford’s loan period to finish as the New Year draws near.
Sport, a Spanish publication, reports that the Catalans are attempting to outline an agreement with United, despite the fact that a second loan is seen to be doubtful. According to the article, they will determine whether to trigger the purchase clause after more talks.
Barcelona face stumbling block to sign Rashford in a permanent move
The Catalan giants are negotiating a long-term agreement that would include incentives for image rights and performance-based payments in addition to a lower basic wage.
A deal might be concluded as early as the January transfer window if Rashford accepts this financial concession. Barcelona is willing to pay €30 million, which is somewhat less than Rashford’s €35 million release clause.
Barcelona is up against fierce competition, though. Rashford’s circumstances are being keenly watched by Paris Saint-Germain, Bayern Munich, Juventus, Inter Milan, Chelsea, and Arsenal. If the player wants to stay in the Premier League, Chelsea and Arsenal are thinking about possible transfers.
Barcelona, meanwhile, is becoming more self-assured. Rashford’s passion for Spanish football and his close relationship with Flick have made the Catalan club his top choice. He is inspired and feels appreciated once again. Rashford wants to stay if Barcelona can make the numbers work.
