💣Will he stay? Barça hold first talks over Rashford | OneFootball

FC Barcelona has gone on the offensive to secure the continued presence of Marcus Rashford in their squad. According to the latest reports, the Blaugrana board has held a formal meeting with Manchester United to negotiate the permanent transfer of the English striker, who is currently under the discipline of the Catalan club.

Negotiating Down the Purchase Option

Although the current agreement includes a purchase option set at 26 million pounds, Barça would prefer not to exercise it under those financial terms. Instead, the club has sounded out United to agree on a lower figure, taking advantage of the player’s willingness and the need to adjust the move to the club’s financial reality.

The coming weeks will be key in determining whether the Old Trafford club agrees to lower their demands for the forward.
