With only four remaining days in the transfer window, significant movements begin to take shape. Barcelona is in direct negotiations with Manchester United with respect to Marcus Rashford’s loan, with the aim of having everything in place on Monday.
The 27 -year -old is the Blaugrana’s The main objective for winter and the player is also interested in making the transfer happen. And it seems that things are warming up in the last days of the transfer window.
Man United asks for guarantees
According to Telegraph (H/T Sport), conversations intensify between Barcelona and Manchester United for an agreement involving Rashford.
But the Premier League club has requested guarantees of the Blaugrana that can register the player with the league without any problem to continue progressing with the agreement.
Manchester United remains uncertain about the ability to complete the registration, after complications with Dani Olmo and Pau Víctor, despite the Catalans who return to the financial rule 1: 1.
All parties expect to finish Rashford’s game during this winter market, so they commit to Barcelona.
However, if Barça does not provide the necessary guarantees, Man United could explore other negotiations with clubs interested in the striker, since they are eager to avoid any last -minute complication.
The salary problem complicates things
It is reported that Rashford communicated to Manchester United his desire to join Barcelona, at least until June.
Barcelona, who has maintained continuous contact with his representatives, has established a maximum amount that is willing to contribute to cover part of his substantial salary.
They are not willing to support the total cost, since it would be too high and could cause problems within the locker room.
The key development in this scenario is Rashford’s position. Initially, Rashford was willing to make financial sacrifices, but after the recent criticisms of the manager, he is now not willing to commit.
As a result, Manchester United will need to cover almost half of his salary during the rest of the season if they wish to facilitate their departure.
Barcelona is doing everything possible in these last days of the transfer window, and remains to be seen if they will have enough financial space to accommodate it.
