"Barcelona manager Hansi Flick sent a clear message to Rashford about where he stands in the team's plans after opting to leave him on the bench against Celta Vigo. The Man United loanee has seen his role diminish during the decisive phase of the season and received a clear signal in last night's match."
"At the start of the year, Barcelona had planned to make an effort to sign Rashford permanently. The idea was to activate the €30 million purchase option and adjust his salary to keep him for the next three seasons."
"The overall cost of the deal, including transfer fee and wages, is considered too high. Rashford's season has been inconsistent, although his initial adaptation was positive."
Raphinha's injury initially opened the door for Marcus Rashford at FC Barcelona, but his inconsistent performances have led to doubts about his future. Manager Hansi Flick's decision to bench Rashford against Celta Vigo signals a diminishing role for him. Barcelona had considered activating a €30 million purchase option, but the coaching staff now views the financial commitment as too high for a player who hasn't secured a starting position. Despite initial positive adaptation, Rashford's inconsistency has changed the club's outlook on his potential long-term signing.
