After recent seasons of wandering like a lost soul, Marcus Rashford is finally back. Since September, the Englishman has given the impression of floating above the game and does not seem in any hurry to come down. It's simple, before the match against Wales on Thursday with England (3-0), he was on a series of nine consecutive matches in which he had been decisive.

His double against Newcastle in the Champions League was probably the high point of this excellent dynamic, and even when his team was doing less well, he knew how to do well as against PSG, to a certain extent, or against Sevilla last weekend by sounding the revolt despite the defeat. The first questions about his future can already be asked, as he arrived this summer as part of a loan with an option to buy.

Barça was pleasantly surprised

According to The Sunthe enthusiasm is total internally, and the plan is clearly to exercise the option to purchase Marcus Rashford at the end of the season. This is between 30 and 35 million euros. The media indicates that Rashford would have amazed everyone with his work ethic and his qualities since his arrival at the club. However, we were far from it at the start.

An internal source tells The Sun : “ internally at Barça, they thought it was too good to be true (that Rashford was coming to the club). There must have been something wrong for Manchester to let him go like that. His brother Dwaine persuaded and reassured them that there was nothing wrong, and that he wasn't going to cause any trouble. Barça are really surprised to have been able to recruit him for what they consider to be a good deal.» In recent weeks, Hansi Flick had indicated that he had moved heaven and earth for Deco to bring in the 27-year-old Englishman. You could say he had a hollow nose.
