And if a solution was finally found for Marcus Rashford (27 years old) before Monday evening, closure of the transfer market? In any case, this is the wish of everyone, namely the clubs interested and the player even if it is forced to a few financial sacrifices. It is the only way for him to get out of the Panade at Manchester United where his future is completely blocked, especially after the last statements by Ruben Amorim about him. Two clubs are still in the running to welcome him: FC Barcelona and Aston Villa.
Since the beginning of the month, the Catalans have been developing many plans to attract the English striker. Considering your arrival is not really a problem, even in the form of a paid loan. On the other hand, his salary is complicated to assume. It affects € 18 million gross per year, until 2028. Barça should therefore pay it around € 9 million over the six months of loan. The player and the Red Devils were ready for a few efforts but not enough to resolve the problem. The latest news, the Cules were ready to let go of the case, as explained yesterday.
A way soon found
Except that between the time, a news has appeared, and rather unexpected for the time being. Manchester City tries to bring Nico Gonzalez by the closure of the transfer market. The Spanish midfielder has excelled in Porto for a few months when he has been under contract until 2028. His release clause is set at € 60 million but if this transfer came to succeed, 40 % of the amount would return directly to the Blaugranas since they had Included this clause during his transfer to the Dracoes in the summer of 2023. The Barça would therefore be found with a check fallen from the sky of € 24 million in his hands.
After Sportthe latter data could change the situation in the Rashford file. The club now has the means to finance this operation but a doubt still remains. Deco, the sports director, does not consider his arrival as imperative. He would even be ready to wait until summer to have him sign at a lower cost. But playing the watch is also very risky. Sky Sports revealed last night that Aston Villa formulated a loan offer at Manchester United, facilitated by the departure of Jhon Duran in Al-Nassr. The villans have recovered no less than € 75 million in the transfer of the Colombian and have frank cubits. The Athletic Add this Saturday morning that the Villans are even about to sign an agreement for its loan, only certain details must still be settled between all parties. The English press is therefore unanimous on this subject, Rashford is closer to Birmingham than in Barcelona, even if this last destination remains its priority.
