Rashford Declares Staying at Barcelona His ‘Ultimate Goal’ as Club Weighs Buy Option

A final decision is expected in summer given Barcelona's tight finances.

Overview

  • In a new interview with Sport, Marcus Rashford said his ultimate goal is to remain at Barcelona and stressed his focus is on winning titles.
  • The Manchester United loanee’s deal includes a reported option to buy in the €28–30m (£22–26m) range, with outlets differing on the exact figure.
  • Sporting director Deco has signaled no immediate decision, and reports indicate a permanent move would likely require a reduced salary to satisfy La Liga limits.
  • Rashford has delivered seven goals and 11 assists so far under Hansi Flick, who has praised the forward’s professionalism and team-first mindset.
  • Coverage in Spain and France notes outside interest such as PSG monitoring the situation, while a return to United is viewed as unlikely after last season’s fallout under Ruben Amorim.
