Talks between Barcelona and Manchester United about Marcus Rashford are gaining traction.
Both clubs are in a crucial planning phase.
What began as a temporary arrangement is evolving into a long-term discussion.
Rashford’s upcoming decision could greatly impact both clubs.
According to reports from Matteo Moretto and Reshad Rahman on X, Barcelona is looking to adjust the financial terms for Rashford.
The current buy-option is set at about £30 million, which Barcelona wants to reduce to around £25.5 million to fit their budget.
Rashford’s situation has gained importance after mixed performances at Old Trafford, where he has struggled with consistency.
A potential move could allow him to regain his confidence, with those close to him believing a change in environment might benefit his game.
Barcelona sees Rashford as a player with speed, directness, and valuable experience that they need in key moments.
While United is open to selling, they won’t accept a low offer without clear value.
The club still views Rashford as a strong asset due to his European and international experience.
Any deal is likely to focus on payment structure and potential add-ons rather than a direct price cut.
Interestingly, Michael Carrick is reportedly in favor of bringing Rashford back if talks do not progress.
Some within United believe he can still play a major role if circumstances improve.
Rashford has expressed a preference to stay at Barcelona if a deal can be finalized.
For Barcelona, signing him would be a significant move and a calculated risk.
The coming weeks will be crucial as discussions continue.
