Barcelona are reported to be exploring a second loan for Marcus Rashford after his temporary move last summer. The original agreement included an affordable $35.1 million (\u00a326 million, \u20ac30 million) buyout clause, a figure Catalonia\u2019s leaders appear unwilling to meet. Sky Sports News claim La Liga\u2019s leaders are “interested” in retaining Rashford for at least one more season on a secondary loan deal.<\/p>\n
Any discussions would be expected once the current campaign finishes and Rashford returns to Manchester United. United have previously ruled out negotiating a lower release clause, and the club remain intent on moving the forward on swiftly given concerns that his wages are set to skyrocket in the likely event of Champions League qualification.<\/p>\n
From Barcelona\u2019s perspective the proposal is straightforward: keep Rashford\u2019s services without paying the $35 million fee. For United, the deal is less attractive. Pushing a permanent transfer back by a year risks further reducing the player\u2019s market value. Rashford is described in the report as a versatile winger at peak age, 28, with two years remaining on his contract.<\/p>\n
The possibility of a strong World Cup showing for England could raise his price, the draft notes, complicating matters for all parties. A follow-up loan would also not necessarily guarantee a permanent move next summer. If Barcelona again decide against triggering the clause, United could be left with a 29-year-old forward who has only 12 months left on his deal.<\/p>\n
The Red Devils\u2019 position is said to be clear: either Barcelona trigger Rashford\u2019s release clause in full or he returns to Old Trafford. Should he return, the most likely outcome would be a new permanent destination for the player, with the report adding that there are plenty of clubs who would surely be keen on snapping up the talented forward.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
