Rashford Says He Wants Barcelona Stay as Reported €30m Option Sets Up Summer Decision

A reported €30m option next summer leaves finances plus Manchester United's stance as the key variables.

Overview

  • Marcus Rashford told ESPN he wants to remain at Barcelona beyond his season-long loan from Manchester United.
  • Barcelona are reported to hold an option to buy for around €30m (£26m), with a final call expected closer to next summer.
  • The 27-year-old has started strongly under Hansi Flick with five goals and multiple assists in 12 games, including Champions League braces against Newcastle and Olympiacos.
  • Reporting cited by Football Espana says club figures view Rashford as a good tactical fit and note his growing popularity in the dressing room.
  • Rashford is under contract at United until 2028, and multiple outlets say a return looks unlikely after a fallout with manager Ruben Amorim last year.
