Marcus Rashford is certain that next season he won't continue at Manchester United. The relationship is truly bad, to the point that they've taken away his number 10 jersey. He was loaned to Aston Villa during the final stage of last season and left a great impression. Now he's clear that he wants to continue his career at a top-level club, with Barça as his main priority.
Rashford rejects many millions
In recent hours, the English forward has made a decision that has surprised Barcelona. Mundo Deportivo has revealed that several powerful teams from Saudi Arabia are trying to sign him. One of them has made him a very significant offer, which would reach €40 million ($43.6 million) per season as salary.
Despite this, Marcus Rashford has decided to reject this offer. He's clear that his goal is to keep playing at the highest level. Not only that, he wants to wear the FC Barcelona jersey. He's working to play for the blaugrana immediately, and the deal could be closed as a loan with a purchase option, valued between €30 and €40 million ($32.7 and $43.6 million).
Priority for Hansi Flick
Marcus Rashford could become one of the major moves for FC Barcelona this summer. At 27 years old, the Englishman is determined to leave England and is very keen on joining the blaugrana side... where Hansi Flick has already given the green light to his signing. The German coach believes that the Manchester United player has the ideal profile to strengthen the culer attack. Especially because of his speed, dribbling, and ability to play both on the wing and in the center of the attack.
During the second half of the 2024/25 season, Rashford played on loan at Aston Villa, where he regained his form after a difficult start to the campaign. In the 17 matches he played with the Villans, he scored 4 goals and provided 6 assists, showing that he still has a lot of football to offer. Barça have closely followed his performance and have intensified contacts in recent weeks.
The striker is desperate to wear the blaugrana jersey and fulfill his dream of playing at Camp Nou. At the club, aware of his desire, they're already working on a formula to carry out a deal that, although complex, is feasible due to Manchester United's context and the player's own willingness to facilitate his departure.
Rashford's contract ends in 2028, but his contractual situation won't be an insurmountable obstacle. Barça value his experience at the highest level, his physical profile, and his offensive versatility as a perfect complement for Flick's new project.
Everything indicates that Marcus Rashford will be one of the big names of the summer transfer market for the culer side. Barça want him... he only thinks about Barça, as he has shown with this "no" to Saudi Arabia.
