Barcelona’s Interest in Marcus Rashford Intensifies
Barcelona’s leadership has taken a keen interest in Marcus Rashford, who is currently on loan from Manchester United.
Interest in Permanent Transfer
According to sources from Sport, Barcelona is considering making Rashford’s loan transfer a permanent one.
Boardroom Consensus
There is a strong consensus among the club’s executives about Rashford’s potential addition to the squad. However, a significant hurdle exists: the stipulated transfer fee of €30 million poses a substantial challenge for the financially strapped club.
Financial Challenges Faced by Barcelona
The Catalan club finds itself in a precarious financial position, complicating their ability to meet the transfer fee. They are also constrained by La Liga’s Financial Fair Play regulations, which further limit their options.
Efforts to Negotiate a Reduced Fee
As a result, Barcelona officials plan to engage in discussions with their counterparts at Manchester United to explore the possibility of securing Rashford for a fee that is less than the originally set €30 million.
