The management of Barcelona has initiated negotiations to retain Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford in the team. The Catalan club plans to loan the English footballer for a second season. Goal.com reports this.
The team's new head coach, Hansi Flick, has agreed to Rashford staying. The specialist highly values the forward's role in his tactical schemes and believes his physical condition will benefit the team.
Due to financial difficulties, Barcelona does not intend to exercise the option to buy Rashford for 30 million euros. Instead, the club management is aiming for another one-year loan agreement or a significant reduction in the transfer price.
Rashford appeared in 45 matches across all competitions this season, scoring 13 goals and providing 13 assists. The player himself prefers staying in Spain over returning to the English Premier League.
Manchester United, meanwhile, remains in favor of selling the player permanently. The English club may consider a loan with an obligation to buy in order to raise funds for summer transfers.
