Barcelona Open Talks With Man United on Rashford, Explore Cheaper Deal Than €30m Option

Financial constraints are pushing Barcelona to pursue alternatives to an immediate buyout.

Overview

  • Club officials met earlier in January to discuss either a reduced fee or a second loan with a conditional obligation to buy, according to multiple reports.
  • Manchester United consider the €30m clause reasonable and, with Rashford under contract until 2028, are not currently planning to lower their price.
  • Rashford has said he wants to stay at Barcelona, a stance that favors the Spanish club in negotiations.
  • If a permanent move is agreed, Barcelona would reportedly offer a contract running through 2029.
  • Rashford has delivered seven goals and 11 assists in roughly 27–28 appearances, and further talks are expected toward the end of the season.
