Overview
- Press Association reporting indicates Manchester United will not reopen talks and are holding to the existing €30m (£26m) buy option in the loan agreement.
- Barcelona are exploring another loan or an installments plan as a negotiating tactic given their budget rules and timing issues, according to multiple reports.
- Fabrizio Romano reports United have rejected 'creative solutions' and will recall Rashford if the clause is not paid in full.
- Rashford has produced around 10 goals and 13 assists this season and is said to have agreed personal terms to remain in Spain.
- If Barcelona do not meet the clause, United are prepared to sell to another club, with UK reports suggesting they believe a fee near £50m could be achievable.
