Manchester United transfer news: Barcelona want Rashford on the cheap ...Middle East

Barcelona plan to keep Marcus Rashford after the end of the loan, but intend to negotiate a reduction in the value set for the purchase of the striker, according to Spanish website Estadio Deportivo.

The 27-year-old player arrived at the club on loan from Manchester United in the last European summer transfer window and quickly became an important piece in the squad managed by Hansi Flick.

The original agreement provided for a non-obligatory clause of £30m should Barcelona opt for the permanent purchase at the end of the season. However, according to the portal, the Catalan club consider the value high and should initiate talks offering £26m.

After a discreet start in Spain, Rashford regained good form and began to be decisive. There are three goals and four assists in all competitions, which makes him the leader in direct goal contributions of the Blaugrana squad so far.

Hansi Flick highlighted the striker's impact and publicly indicated the desire to have him permanently:

“What Rashford has done is unbelievable. He brought intensity, movement and confidence to the team. He is increasingly adapted to our style.”

The recent performance has also eased part of the doubts about the signing, initially seen as a risk, considering Rashford's irregular record at Manchester United and Barcelona's financial restrictions.

Negotiation with Manchester United can evolve

At United, the striker was not part of Ruben Amorim's plans for the 2025-26 season. The loan was a convenient solution for all parties: Barcelona gained a significant reinforcement and United shared salary costs whilst seeking future sale options.

Now, with Rashford valued and contract valid until 2027, the English side should listen to proposals – especially if Barcelona formalise the purchase interest. The Spanish club believe they can convince United to accept a lower value, citing the player's high salary and his desire to remain in Catalonia.

The operation, however, depends on Barcelona's economic conditions, who are still working to adjust the budget to the reality imposed by La Liga's Financial Fair Play. The club see Rashford as a possible natural replacement for Robert Lewandowski, whose future remains uncertain after next season.

Even with the difficulties, the management believe the investment in Rashford would be strategic: with good age, versatile and on the rise under Flick's command.
