The hopes of Rashford to join Barcelona this summer have been reduced to nothing, because the liga champions are not willing to pay the price of 40 million euros requested by Manchester United, according to Sport.
Marcus Rashford moves away from Barça
According to this report, the Catalans could offer between 5 and 10 million euros for a one year loan, but they do not want to part with a large sum for Rashford, preferring to invest in a player like Luis Diaz (Liverpool). Gabriel Martinelli (Arsenal) is another option.
Rashford has no future in Manchester United under the direction of Ruben Amorim, having left the club to join Aston Villa on loan in January. However, his contract at Old Trafford runs for another three years and the Red Devils wish to obtain a transfer compensation worthy of a player who scored 17 goals in 62 selections for England.
Competition at Barça
If Rashford joined Barcelona, he would find himself in competition with Raphinha for a place in the Hansi Flick team. The Brazilian is one of the main candidates for the Ballon d'Or 2025 after having led the Blaugrana to a national hat -trick.
Rashford hopes that his future will be quickly settled, but the financial situation of FC Barcelona could exclude it, especially if he decides to favor a final arrival like Diaz.
