Barcelona Explore Cut-Price Ways to Keep Rashford After Strong Loan Start

An optional €30m clause with no penalties leaves Barcelona room to negotiate despite his improved form.

Overview

  • Rashford has three goals and five assists in 10 appearances since joining Barcelona on a season-long loan.
  • Reporting in Spain says Barcelona will try to keep him by lowering the agreed €30m fee or arranging another loan next season.
  • Fabrizio Romano reiterates the deal carries an option, not an obligation, to buy for around €30m, and Deco confirms there is no penalty if Barcelona decline it.
  • Manchester United are reported to have little intention of reintegrating Rashford, while the player is described as happy and focused on staying at Barcelona.
  • Transfermarkt lists Rashford at about £34.72m, and Mirror reporting suggests Barcelona view the €30m option as a bargain relative to his current impact.
