Barcelona’s interest in Marcus Rashford may become more intense as the current transfer window nears its end.
Rashford, who had already sparked interest from Barcelona a few seasons ago, has now become one of the most talked about figures in the January transfer market.
It should be noted that the English striker has expressed his desire to leave Manchester United and would be interested in moving to Spain.
Since announcing his desire to leave United, Rashford’s future has been a constant topic in sports media across England.
Indeed, Manchester United are eager to part ways with the player and the club hopes to sell him now or in the summer to avoid a major disruption to the dressing room.
Your salary is a problem.
For Barcelona, this situation presents an intriguing possibility. Rashford is one of the forward options that the club would consider to boost their attacking options.
However, there are some challenges, mainly related to the club’s financial situation. Despite the improvement with the 1:1 rule, Barcelona cannot afford Rashford’s current salary, which amounts to 18 million euros per year.
As things stand, Barcelona would not be able to meet these financial demands, although the player remains an attractive option for the club.
Opportunity for Barcelona
That said, there may be a potential solution if Rashford and Manchester United can find a way to negotiate a move that suits all parties.
According to SPORT, a possible scenario under discussion is a loan with an option to buy. This would likely involve Rashford taking a pay cut, with Manchester United contributing to the cost of his wages.
If an agreement of this type could be reached, the situation would seem much more feasible for Barcelona.
Interestingly, other teams such as AC Milan have also been in contact with Rashford’s representatives to explore the possibility of a loan, but it seems his heart is set on signing for Barcelona.
