Barcelona Will Not Trigger Rashford Buy Option in January, Says Deco

Financial limits tied to La Liga registration rules mean the club will wait until season’s end to decide on a permanent deal.

Overview

  • Barcelona hold an option reported at around €30m (£26m) to buy Marcus Rashford at the end of his season-long loan from Manchester United.
  • Sporting director Deco said there are no plans for January signings, signaling transfer decisions will be pushed to the summer.
  • Rashford has started strongly under Hansi Flick, scoring six goals in 15 appearances and locking down the left wing as Raphinha recovers from injury.
  • Local reports say Barcelona are assessing alternatives for next summer, with Malick Fofana of Lyon among wingers being monitored and early agent contacts described.
  • Manchester United retain control of any permanent transfer, with Barcelona set to reassess Rashford’s future once the season concludes.
