Overview
- In a new interview with Sport, Marcus Rashford called a permanent move to Barcelona his ultimate goal after settling well on and off the pitch.
- Barcelona’s loan includes a reported purchase clause of about €28–30m (around £26m), but sporting director Deco has said the club will wait before deciding.
- Rashford has produced seven goals and 11 assists in 24 appearances under Hansi Flick, who has praised the forward’s professionalism and mentality.
- Any permanent deal is expected to depend on economics, with reports indicating Rashford would need to accept a reduced salary to fit Barcelona’s constraints.
