Barcelona are reportedly ruling out a permanent move for Marcus Rashford owing to the financial burden on he club to make this deal happen.
According to Fichajes, Barcelona are seriously considering letting Marcus Rashford return to Manchester United once his loan expires. The Catalans have a €30 million buy option in the deal, but they are set to rule out a permanent deal for the winger amid their ongoing financial struggles.
Barcelona made a brilliant decision in the summer to snap up Marcus Rashford out of Manchester United on an initial loan deal with a buy option. The Catalans have the option of securing the winger for €30 million at the end of the season, but major doubts are creeping in about their final intentions with the winger.
Rashford certainly wants to stay at Barcelona beyond the current season, as some reports stated he could even take a pay cut to seal the move. The €30 million buy option also seems more like a bargain in the current market, especially given how well the winger has performed with the Spanish giants.
Having produced 7 goals and 11 assists across all competitions this season, Rashford has been one of Barcelona’s best players this term. However, the club are mindful of the ongoing financial struggles that have led to them thinking about moving away from a permanent deal for the €30 million-rated Manchester United misfit.
Barcelona are likely to send Rashford back to Manchester United and prioritise bringing in another winger on loan. Manchester City’s Savinho was recently linked as a potential replacement for Raphinha, although with Rashford now unlikely to stay, the Brazilian might replace the €30 million-rated Manchester United misfit.
What next for Marcus Rashford?
Rashford’s stellar performances away from Manchester United have ensured he has a good market standing even if he does not seal a permanent move to Barcelona. PSG are one of the clubs interested, while there will be others ready to place their bets on the English winger, as Atletico Madrid are also huge admirers.
Should Barceloina realistically opt out of the deal at the end of the campaign, Manchester United will hope Rashford continues his supreme form. By that, the club could potentially seek a larger fee in the market from willing suitors, which may end up benefiting the Red Devils in a big way.
