Khaberni - Barcelona has finalized its stance on signing English player Marcus Rashford definitively after the end of his loan period in the summer of 2026.
Marcus Rashford joined Barcelona from Manchester United on a season-long loan with an option to buy.
There is a purchase option priced at 30 million euros that allows Barcelona to sign Rashford permanently after the end of the loan period at the end of the current season.
According to the Catalan newspaper "Sport", Barcelona has decided to keep Rashford in the team after the good performance he displayed in recent matches.
However, the newspaper added that Barcelona does not intend to activate the purchase option valued at 30 million euros.
It mentioned that Barcelona trusts in its ability to negotiate with Manchester United to reduce the amount, or even agree on a second loan deal for an additional season.
The discussions between Barcelona and Manchester United may intensify next week, depending on the player's performance and the stance of his English club.
It is noteworthy that Rashford performed well with Barcelona, establishing himself as a key player, and the Catalan club sees the possibility of continuing with new contractual terms.
In his last 7 matches as a starter, Rashford made 8 scoring contributions (3 goals and 5 assists), making him the top contributor in the team.
