La Liga giants Atletico Madrid are reportedly ready to pay €30 million to sign 28-year-old English international Marcus Rashford from Manchester United next summer.
According to a report by Spanish outlet Fichajes, Marcus Rashford is the subject of interest from Atletico Madrid. The Colchoneros are eager to reinforce their offensive unit by signing a versatile attacker in next summer’s transfer window. So, the 28-year-old Manchester United misfit has emerged as a target for Los Rojiblancos.
Widespread reports have painted a contradictory picture about Barcelona’s willingness to pay €30 million to complete a permanent deal for the Englishman. While that is happening, Atletico Madrid will aim to win the battle for Rashford’s signature, and they are ready to pay €30 million to sign him from Manchester United.
How has Marcus Rashford fared at Barcelona?
Marcus Rashford has continued his revival with aplomb since joining Barcelona from Manchester United on a season-long loan deal in the summer transfer window. The Blaugrana landed the 28-year-old after his exceptional stint with Aston Villa in the second half of the 2024/25 season. That helped the Englishman secure his dream move to Barcelona.
The English international has scored seven goals and provided 11 assists in 24 appearances across all competitions thus far for Barcelona. So, it is hardly surprising that widespread reports have suggested that the Blaugrana will pursue a permanent move for Rashford. However, recent updates have suggested that it may not happen, and Atletico Madrid will aim to pounce.
Will Rashford remain in La Liga beyond this season?
Atletico Madrid’s interest in Marcus Rashford is understandable. The Colchoneros are scouring the market for a versatile attacker amid uncertainties surrounding the long-term futures of Alexander Sorloth and Antoine Griezmann. So, the Manchester United misfit has emerged as a viable target for Atletico Madrid, with Los Rojiblancos ready to pay €30 million to secure his services.
As for Barcelona, Rashford has already shown his quality at the Catalan club this season. The 28-year-old Englishman has already contributed to 18 goals in the first half of the 2025/26 season, and he may be on course to enjoy his most productive campaign. Recent reports have claimed that Rashford’s heart is set on remaining at FC Barcelona beyond the 2025/26 season.
However, with Barcelona reportedly deciding against paying €30 million to seal a permanent move, the English international must consider his options. It will be interesting to see if Rashford continues his journey in La Liga beyond the 2025/26 season.
