Overview
- Club officials met this month to discuss alternatives to the non‑mandatory €30m option, including a lower fee or a second loan with a conditional obligation to buy.
- Manchester United view the €30m clause as fair and prefer a permanent sale, with no current commitment to reduce their valuation.
- Rashford has publicly stated he wants to stay at Barcelona and is not entertaining other proposals, strengthening the Catalan club’s negotiating position.
- If a permanent move is agreed, reports indicate Barcelona would offer a contract through 2029, though no agreement has been reached.
- Rashford has contributed seven goals and 11 assists in roughly 27–28 games and recently lifted the Supercopa, reinforcing Barca’s interest despite rotation in recent weeks.
