FC Barcelona are ready to pay a €30 million transfer fee to sign Marcus Rashford permanently from Manchester United. Hansi Flick is pleased with Rashford’s impact and wants him kept beyond the current season. Barcelona had preferred a new loan deal with a mandatory purchase option at a lower price for next summer, but Manchester United insisted on the full €30 million. After internal debate, Barcelona appear to accept the agreed €30 million figure from last summer’s loan agreement, believing it will be difficult to find a player of Rashford’s quality at that price. Rashford has produced 14 goals and 14 assists in 48 appearances, contributing to La Liga and Spanish Super Cup success. Rashford wants to stay and is willing to accept lower wages to help complete the deal.
"Rashford joined Barcelona on loan from Manchester United last year and has had an impactful season, playing an important role in the La Liga and Spanish Super Cup triumphs. In 48 appearances, the Englishman has 14 goals and 14 assists each for the Catalans. Rashford, for his part, has always been clear that he wants to continue at Barcelona and is even willing to sign a lengthy contract at lower wages in order to facilitate the operation. With the Catalans now seemingly ready to shell out the €30 million fee, the deal could soon be secured."
