The BB Mailbag: Rashford's future, Barca Atletic signings and World Cup 2026
"This is the big question right now, isn't it? The Spanish press seem convinced Rashford will stay and Flick clearly likes him but....well, there are a few buts. Let's look at the positives: he's settled well, he has 10 goals and 10 assists already, and he's been a useful option to have on the bench particularly with the injuries suffered in the first half of the season."
"But, yes his massive wages will obviously be an issue for Barca, while paying €30m to sign a player who is not first choice is not the best use of funds when you're strapped for cash and have other priorities. We know Barcelona are looking for a new striker, potentially a centre-back and that Ferran Torres would like a new contract as well this summer. So, lots to do."
Marcus Rashford has settled into Barcelona, contributing 10 goals and 10 assists and providing a useful bench option amid early-season injuries. High wages and an estimated €30m transfer fee create financial strain for Barcelona, who also seek a new striker, a potential centre-back and must address Ferran Torres' contract. Rashford can struggle with pressing and one-versus-one chances, and many of his goals came when Barcelona already led rather than changing games. Decision on a permanent signing may hinge on Robert Lewandowski's future and Rashford's scoring form through the season's end.
