Barcelona Weigh Rashford Buy Option as Board Split and Rivals Circle

LaLiga salary limits plus pressing doubts are delaying a decision despite 15 direct goal contributions this season.

Overview

  • Rashford is on a season-long loan from Manchester United with a non-mandatory buy option reported at about €30 million.
  • Reporting in Spain highlights internal division over a permanent deal, citing concerns about his pressing and high wages, with his starts reduced after Raphinha’s return.
  • Barcelona are evaluating alternatives, with Fichajes reporting interest in Pedro Neto and a proposed €50 million fee plus up to €20 million in add-ons.
  • CaughtOffside reports that PSG are prepared to bid if Barcelona decline, while Tottenham, Chelsea and Arsenal are also tracking the situation.
  • Rashford remains under contract at United until 2028, and multiple reports suggest a sale would be pursued next summer if Barcelona pass on the option.
