Marcus Rashford is eager to leave Manchester United before the transfer window ends. In order to join Barcelona this month, the 27-year-old would be prepared to take a pay reduction, according to a report from the Spanish daily SPORT. Tottenham has also been mentioned in relation to him. The Spanish team is unable to pay him, but they hope to sign him on loan for the rest of the season. The Spanish team would have to pay €5 million in salary for the rest of the season, whereas the player now makes about €10 million at the English club.

According to the rumor, in order to close the deal, Rashford would be prepared to lower his wage expectations by €2 million. Rashford’s permanent transfer is anticipated in the summer, but United is allegedly prepared to enable a loan deal in January. As he turns to the next phase of his career, his exit is all but definite, marking the end of an incredible period at Old Trafford.

Barcelona reportedly willing to pay €6m for Marcus Rashford deal

Barcelona has always been the winger’s top target this month, but the Catalan team’s financial issues are making things difficult. They would prefer to have Rashford join them if a solution can be found, but they are unable to pay him his £300,000 weekly salary due to a wage cap. Rashford has now “gestured” to Barcelona that he is prepared to reduce his pay demands in order to close a deal, demonstrating a glaring desire to leave United and join the La Liga powerhouses, according to the front page of Saturday’s edition of Mundo Deportivo (via Sport Witness).

It will be intriguing to observe whether Manchester United is able to acquire a good substitute before the transfer window ends. Letting Rashford go would further degrade their already impoverished attacking unit. In the meantime, the England international will be looking to resume playing regular football in order to restart his career. He might be in need of a new beginning right now, and a move to Barcelona might allow the Spanish powerhouses to bring out the best in him once more.
