Spanish club "Barcelona" is planning to sign Marcus Rashford, currently on loan from "Manchester United", on a permanent basis. The Catalans are ready to pay £26 million for the player. Despite the club's financial difficulties, the management considers this transfer an important step for the future. Reports goal.com.
Rashford has proven his value by scoring four goals in the last four months. "Barcelona" sporting director Deco decided to pursue the player after observing his successful performances at "Aston Villa". Currently, the player feels comfortable at "Barcelona" and has even agreed to a salary reduction.
Hansi Flick sees Rashford as a worthy replacement for Raphinha on the left wing. Additionally, the player's ability to play as a center-forward provides the coach with extra options. "Manchester United" admits they made a mistake in loaning him out, as the €30 million buyout option looks very cheap at current market prices.
The transfer is expected to be finalized if "Barcelona" president Joan Laporta is re-elected. Although the return of other young talents has been discussed within the club, Rashford's experience and current form make him the primary candidate. This deal is expected to be very successful for "Barcelona" both financially and sportingly.
