Despite repeatedly impressing and earning the confidence of the coaching team, the English forward has not yet convinced Barca to finalize their plans for his future.
Barcelona is carefully evaluating Marcus Rashford’s future, even though the English striker has made a significant impact since joining on loan. According to Carrusel Deportivo, Camp Nou officials consider Manchester United’s buyout fee proposal unreasonable, forcing them to contemplate renegotiation during the summer transfer window.
Specifically, the buyout clause for Rashford is reportedly around 30 million Euros. While valuing the 1997-born striker’s performances, Barcelona believes this amount is somewhat steep given their financial constraints. Instead of activating the clause immediately, the Catalan club wants to renegotiate the payment terms with their Premier League counterpart.
Since leaving Old Trafford on a season-long loan, Rashford has quickly adapted to La Liga. He earned the trust of coach Hansi Flick and Barcelona’s management through his dynamic play, speed, and ability to create chances. His consistent form has made him one of the key attacking players.
Statistics highlight Rashford’s remarkable rise in Spain. Across all competitions, the English forward has scored 10 goals and provided 13 assists, contributing directly to many crucial wins. In the Copa del Rey, he continued to make an impact by participating in key goals, helping Barcelona advance deep into the tournament.
Beyond his on-field performances, Rashford has integrated well in the locker room. Many teammates celebrate his goals with him, reflecting his growing status within the squad. Rashford himself is said to be satisfied with life in La Liga and is not eager to return to Old Trafford.
In the context of Rashford no longer being a priority at Manchester United, Barcelona faces an opportunity to acquire a quality striker at a more reasonable price. The remaining challenge is whether both clubs can reach an agreement to secure the English star’s long-term future.
