Rashford: United won't make things easy for Barça
Published on Wednesday, 18 February 2026 at 6:00 pm
Marcus Rashford’s future at FC Barcelona is anything but settled. The forward, on loan at the Catalan club until the season’s end, carries a €30 million purchase clause that Barcelona is reportedly eager to renegotiate. Manchester United, however, have drawn a firm line in the sand: the fee is non-negotiable.
English outlets indicate that Barça’s hierarchy has already floated the idea of shaving the stipulated figure, hoping to secure Rashford’s permanent signature for less than the contracted amount. United’s response has been swift and unequivocal—either the €30 million is met in full, or Rashford will return to Old Trafford when the loan expires.
Should Barcelona balk at the price, a queue of alternative suitors stands ready. Paris Saint-Germain, Chelsea FC, and Tottenham Hotspur are all monitoring developments closely, prepared to pounce if the Spanish giants step away from the negotiating table.
For now, United’s stance is clear and public: there will be no discount on the England international, leaving Barcelona with a straightforward decision—pay up or pass.
