Overview
- Club sources reported by Spanish and UK outlets say no decision will be taken for months, with internal voices both for and against a permanent move.
- The loan includes a pre-agreed clause to buy for around £26m (€30m), which Barcelona consider attractive yet complicated by La Liga salary rules.
- Rashford has produced six goals and seven assists in his first 18 Barcelona appearances and has expressed a desire to stay, with Hansi Flick previously praising his qualities.
- Concerns highlighted by Sport and others focus on his reported £240,000-per-week wage and whether his pressing matches Flick’s requirements.
- PSG are monitoring the situation according to reports, while Barcelona have scouted alternatives such as RB Leipzig’s Antonio Nusa, and a return to Manchester United would prompt a sale or another loan if the option is not activated.
