Rashford Brace Strengthens Barcelona Case for Permanent Deal

Flick's public backing alongside a modest buy option sharpens Barcelona's decision on a permanent deal.

Overview

  • Deployed centrally, Marcus Rashford scored twice and won a penalty in Barcelona’s 6-1 Champions League win over Olympiacos.
  • His Barcelona tally stands at five goals and six assists in 12 matches across competitions after the latest performance.
  • Hansi Flick praised Rashford’s impact and versatility, with the coach telling sporting director Deco the club should keep him, according to reports.
  • The loan contains a non-mandatory option to buy next year for about £25 million plus add-ons, as Spanish media hail the move a success.
