Barcelona are working to secure Marcus Rashford and Joao Cancelo beyond their current loan spells. Hansi Flick is said to be satisfied with their impact, and the sporting department views continuity as a key objective for next season. For Rashford, Barcelona feel positive about his adaptation, performances, attitude, and full commitment to staying. Two options are being studied: a permanent transfer around €30 million paid in installments over three years, alongside a five-year contract, or another loan agreement, though Manchester United prefers a permanent resolution. Cancelo’s case is more complex because his loan from Al Hilal includes no purchase clause, requiring direct negotiation with the Saudi club.
"Manager Hansi Flick is said to be extremely satisfied with the impact both players have made, and the club's sporting department now considers their continuity an important objective heading into next season. In Rashford's case, the feeling inside Barcelona is very positive. In fact, the English forward has adapted well and has impressed the coaching staff with both his performances and attitude. The report adds that the player himself is fully committed to continuing at the club."
"As such, Barcelona are currently studying two possible formulas to keep the Manchester United attacker. The first option involves a permanent transfer worth around €30 million, but structured in instalments. Barça's idea would be to pay €10 million annually over three years while also handing Rashford a long-term five-year contract. The club believes signing a player with Rashford's experience and attacking quality for €30 million would represent one of the smartest market opportunities available."
"The second option would involve negotiating another loan agreement with Manchester United. However, the Premier League side are currently not keen on extending another temporary deal and would rather resolve the player's future permanently. What about Cancelo? As far as Cancelo is concerned, his situation remains slightly more complicated. The Portuguese full-back is currently on loan from Al Hilal, but unlike some modern loan agreements, there is no purchase clause included in the deal."
"That means Barcelona must negotiate directly with the Saudi club if they want the defender to remain at Camp Nou. Notably, the Portuguese international has completely transformed the left side of Barcelona's defence with his attacking movement, technical quality, and experience at elite level."
