FC Barcelona wants to keep Marcus Rashford for next season with the approval of Hansi Flick, but refuses to pay at any price. As Barca push for a new loan, Manchester United are firmly against it and demand payment of the €30 million purchase option before June, especially as Aston Villa are on the prowl. For his part, the 28-year-old striker is pushing to stay in Catalonia, with a solid record of 14 goals and 12 assists.
To unblock the situation in the face of Barça’s financial doubts, Rashford is ready to make significant sacrifices. As explained Mundo Deportivohaving already accepted a 40% reduction in his salary, the Englishman is offering to move from an initial 3-year agreement to a 5-year contract (until 2031) at no additional cost. This trick would allow the club to spread the amortization of the transfer of 30 million over a longer period, thus reducing its annual impact on Catalan finances.
