Overview

• Marcus Rashford scored both goals in Barcelona’s 2-1 Champions League win at Newcastle and said he wants to remain in Catalonia for “as many years as possible.”
• LaLiga has cut Barcelona’s 2025/26 salary limit by about €112m to €351m, a move that could restrict registrations and delay permanent signings.
• Rashford’s loan from Manchester United includes a reported option to buy of roughly €30m/£26m, with one outlet claiming Barcelona intend to activate it, a report not widely corroborated.
• Manchester United are viewed as open to a sale that would count as pure profit due to Rashford’s academy status and would remove a large wage commitment.
• Hansi Flick has praised Rashford’s impact despite limited league starts, and a Spanish report said he was benched against Getafe for arriving late to training.
