Barcelona: green light in sight for Rashford

The permanent transfer of Marcus Rashford to FC Barcelona appears to be on the right track. After a successful loan spell, the Catalan club is eager to keep him for good, and the English forward is open to the move.

With 10 goals and 13 assists in 34 matches, Rashford has made his mark in LaLiga. Negotiations with Manchester United are progressing, with a deal in the region of 30 million euros being discussed. The final hurdle remains financial fair play. Barcelona still needs to adjust its wage bill to comply with the Spanish league’s economic regulations.

To free up budget space, the club could offload some high-profile contracts this summer. The future of Robert Lewandowski is one to watch. If the financial conditions are met, the transfer should go through. Rashford would then be set to write a new chapter of his career in Catalonia.
