Rashford’s Barcelona Form Puts Future in Play as United Shut Door on Return

United’s stance leaves Barcelona to judge whether to activate a reported £26m–£35m option at season’s end.

Overview

  • Rashford has 15 goal contributions in 16 games on loan at Barcelona, reinforcing his value to Hansi Flick’s attack.
  • Barcelona hold a non-mandatory option to buy, widely reported between about £26m and €35m, with no permanent agreement yet.
  • Manchester United manager Rúben Amorim is not planning to reintegrate Rashford, and club figures are said to hope Barcelona trigger the clause.
  • Rashford’s agent Dwaine Maynard has reportedly held transfer talks with Chelsea and Tottenham, offering alternatives if Barcelona decline the option.
  • A separate report claims Rashford is prepared to accept a significant wage cut to stay in Barcelona, with January ruled out for a permanent deal.
