The 27-year-old made the switch to Barcelona on a season-long loan during the summer window. ..Continue Reading
Since arriving, he has flourished under the leadership of Hansi Flick, recording three goals and five assists in ten outings, with his first La Liga strike coming in Sunday’s 4-1 loss to Sevilla.
His only misstep so far came when he arrived late to training, resulting in him being left out of the following match against Getafe.
Despite that, Rashford’s revival has been evident and has earned him another selection for Thomas Tuchel’s England squad.
The question now is whether the loan will become permanent next summer.
According to SPORT, via Tribal, Barcelona are prepared to activate the permanent clause in Rashford’s deal, though discussions remain ongoing due to financial constraints.
The clause allows Barca to secure the transfer for £26.2million, but Rashford—whose contract with United runs until June 2028—may need to accept a reduction from his current £315,000 weekly wage.
Tribal reports that Barcelona’s leadership will attempt to negotiate a lower fee to finalize the move.
La Liga’s Financial Fair rules could also influence the deal, as clubs must balance salary spending with revenue.
The Mirror adds that United have already agreed to a £26m permanent transfer next summer, with Barcelona expected to cover the player’s wages—though this has yet to be officially confirmed by either club or Rashford’s camp.
The forward has expressed his intention to remain in Spain, saying he wants to play for Barca for “as many seasons as possible.”
Additionally, Fabrizio Romano noted that the board feels “very positive” about Rashford’s impact and that he’s “not even thinking about a Manchester United return from the loan.”
He’ll be back in action for Barcelona after the international break, during which England will face Wales in a friendly and Latvia in a World Cup qualifier.
