Heart set on Barca! It has emerged that Marcus Rashford is willing to lower his demands to stay at Barcelona and not return to Manchester United.
On 30 Dec 2025 GMT+7, Marcus Rashford is performing outstandingly at Barcelona during his second loan spell away from Old Trafford. The English forward has been involved in 18 goals over 24 games for Hansi Flick's team.
Barcelona has an option to buy Rashford outright for £26 million, which is considered a bargain given his current form. However, the 28-year-old may have to adjust some conditions for the transfer to become permanent.
Spanish media outlet Sport reports that Rashford is open to negotiating a wage reduction to comply with Barcelona's salary cap, amid the club's well-known financial difficulties.
Reports say Flick wants to retain Rashford beyond this season, while Rashford himself has expressed his wish to remain at Barcelona. The Spanish club is optimistic he will reject other offers to continue playing under Flick's management.
