Player wants transfer to go through as Manchester United talks continue | OneFootball

Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford is reportedly keen for his move to Barcelona to become permanent in this summer’s transfer window.

The England international has done well on loan at Barca this season, but it seems the Catalan giants have not yet made a final decision on whether or not to keep him.

That’s according to reliable journalist Matteo Moretto, who says that there have recently been new talks between Man Utd and Barcelona to try to resolve the issue…

Marcus Rashford’s future remains uncertain

Posting on X, Moretto said: “Marcus Rashford’s future at Barcelona is not yet 100% decided, as the club continues to evaluate what the best option is from both a sporting and economic perspective. The footballer wants to stay at Barcelona. Manchester United will not go below the price agreed upon in the summer. Recently, there have been contacts between the parties, and Hansi Flick will have some weight in the final decision.”

It’s perhaps slightly surprising that Barcelona are unsure about keeping Rashford, who looks like a reliable option to have in their squad after a record of 13 goals and nine assists in all competitions.

The 28-year-old probably isn’t the cheapest option out there due to United being stubborn about their demands for him, while he’s also likely on high wages.

Barcelona have financial issues that have restricted them in the market in recent years, but it’s also hard to imagine they’ll find a better option than this without paying a lot of money.

It’s no wonder Rashford looks happier after a change of scene with the move to La Liga, so if he doesn’t end up joining Barcelona he’ll likely look for a move to another foreign club.
