"The club are unwilling to consider another loan and are insisting the €30 million buy option, which expires in June, must be paid in full. They are also frustrated by Rashford's public declarations about wanting to remain in Barcelona, with manager Michael Carrick having already stated the player is part of his plans. Aston Villa have also entered the picture, with Unai Emery's side willing to bid for the winger."
Barcelona has secured the La Liga title and is now planning the 2026-27 squad, with Marcus Rashford’s future a key issue. Hansi Flick supports keeping him, while sporting management seeks a permanent deal despite financial constraints. Rashford proposes extending his contract from three years to five, running until 2032, while keeping the reduced salary already agreed. The plan aims to spread a €30 million transfer fee across five years to lower annual amortisation and fit fair play rules. Rashford has accepted a 40% salary cut and is open to further concessions. Manchester United refuses another loan and requires the €30 million buy option, expiring in June, to be paid in full. Aston Villa also shows interest, increasing pressure on Barcelona’s decision.
