Almost no one is mystery discussions between FC Barcelona and Manchester United for Marcus Rashford. The Englishman made the Catalan club his ideal point of fall to relaunch, after several months, even years, complicated at Old Trafford. Formerly adulated, English is this time the target of criticism due to free fall performance and too unbridled privacy, too nocturnal for certain observers, and even people within the Red Devils. But the negotiations have not been really progressing for a few days.
The reason is simple, the finances of Barça are still too cramped to allow the arrival of the English striker. “We take care of the Fair-Play issuealerted Deco, the sports director, at Sport A few days ago. In the last days, if we can strengthen the team, we will try to do so, but for the moment, there is nothing. The priority is to extend important team players, then we could focus on one or two reinforcements, but that is not something that the coach asked us to do either. ”
The gap is still too large between the two clubs
The meetings are linked, the days go by and the deadlines fall asleep to overcome discussions. The reality is that the cutles will find it difficult to complete the loan from Rashford. Economic differences are still too large with Manchester United. Barça is able to pay a third of his salary, or € 6 million gross (around € 3 million) out of the 18 that the player touches in England, reports Sport. You still have to find at least 6 M € to unlock this file where all parties are ready to make efforts, but within the limits of reasonable.
For this, there is no other choice than to get rid of a player with a big salary. All eyes turn to Ansu Fati but he does not want to leave, despite the existing tracks for him. Without its departure, Barça is stuck. This is where the rub for the moment. MU is also not willing to cover the remaining 50% of Marcus Rashford's salary, hence the need to reach the figure mentioned above and not to find only 3 M €. Everyone is understanding it in this file, even the main interested party, which is starting to study the possibility of staying at home, in Manchester.
