"Manchester United have no plans to re-negotiate the terms of Marcus Rashford's potential permanent move to Barcelona, sources have told ESPN, and expect the Spanish giants to pay the fee agreed in the summer if they want to keep the England forward. Rashford joined Barça on an initial season-long loan deal last summer. Under the terms of the agreement, the LaLiga side have the option to make the move permanent for a pre-agreed fee -- believed to be between €30 million and €35m ($35-40m) -- at the end of the season."
"There have been suggestions that Barça could look to re-enter talks with United in the hope of negotiating a lower fee. But sources have told ESPN that United are unwilling to do so and expect to receive the full fee if Rashford stays in Spain beyond the summer. Rashford, according to sources, wants to stay at Barça. The 28-year-old was frozen out at Old Trafford under former boss Ruben Amorim and joined Aston Villa on loan in January 2025 before joining Barça six months later."
Manchester United will not renegotiate the pre-agreed fee for Marcus Rashford's potential permanent transfer to Barcelona and expect the full payment if Barcelona keep him. Rashford joined Barcelona on a season-long loan with an option to buy for a fee believed to be €30–€35m. Barcelona may seek to reopen talks to lower the fee, but United's stance remains firm. Rashford wants to remain at Barcelona. He was frozen out at Old Trafford under Ruben Amorim, spent time on loan at Aston Villa in January 2025, and has scored 10 goals in 34 appearances for Barcelona. He is under contract with United until 2028 after signing a long-term extension in 2023, and Michael Carrick has not informed club bosses of any desire to pursue a return.
