Barcelona are unwilling to pay Manchester United’s asking price of £40m for Marcus Rashford,
despite the La Liga champions having previously expressed an interest in the 2024-25 campaign. With the club’s sporting director Deco admitting his “admiration” for the England international earlier this month.
Meanwhile, the 27-year-old is expected to leave United this summer. After falling out with manager Ruben Amorim and has long expressed his desire to move to Barcelona. Rashford
joined Aston Villa on loan in the second half of last season and impressed, Scoring four goals and providing six assists in 17 appearances.
Despite his impressive spell at Villa, German outlet สมัครสมาชิก UFABET วันนี้ รับเครดิตฟรีทุกวัน report that Barcelona are not interested in a permanent deal and that any offer will be a loan deal.
However, United are not keen on sending the player out on loan again unless absolutely necessary. And any loan offer will have to come with an option to buy.
The report adds: United could demand a loan fee of between £5m and £10m. With Barcelona covering all of Rashford’s wages and an option to buy him outright at the end of the 2025-26 season.
Rashford currently earns around £315,000 a week, making it a huge financial burden for the struggling Barca.
If no deal can be reached, Barcelona are ready to invest in Liverpool’s Luis Diaz. Who is in the final two years of his contract.
If a deal for Diaz fails to materialise, Barcelona have a back-up plan. With Bayern Munich’s Kingsley Coman and Arsenal’s Gabriel Martinelli in the
mix. Rashford’s brother and agent, Dwaine Maynard, travelled to Spain to hold talks with Barcelona earlier this week, where he met with sporting director Deco at a hotel in Barcelona.
