Barcelona ‘Delighted’ With Rashford as Decision on Permanent Deal Pushed to Summer

Barcelona will wait until next summer to decide on exercising their option to buy the Manchester United forward for about £26 million.

Overview

  • Sky Sports reports Barcelona are pleased with Marcus Rashford’s performances and how he has settled on and off the pitch.
  • A permanent move depends on Robert Lewandowski’s future and whether Rashford proves he can lead the line as a No. 9.
  • The club’s Financial Fair Play position and salary-cap space would need to accommodate Rashford’s long-term wages.
  • The loan includes an option to buy of roughly £26 million (€30m), with talks not expected to start until the season ends.
  • Rashford has delivered a Champions League brace against Newcastle and two LaLiga assists after falling out of Manchester United’s immediate plans under Ruben Amorim.
