Reliable Sources Reject Claims Barcelona Will End Rashford Loan Early

Authoritative denials follow a slow start that prompted speculation over the Manchester United forward's season-long deal.

Overview

  • Spanish outlet El Nacional claimed Barcelona were weighing an early termination after three league appearances without a goal or assist.
  • Guillem Balagué and Fabrizio Romano publicly dismissed the reports as false, saying the club and player are completely aligned.
  • Head coach Hansi Flick has voiced support for Rashford and indicated he will continue to back the loanee after recent substitutions.
  • Rashford has logged limited minutes across three LaLiga games, including a half-time withdrawal at Levante, as he adjusts to the team.
  • The loan carries a purchase option reported at roughly £26–30m, with separate reports of a possible €5m penalty if ended ahead of schedule.
