Barcelona official quote to pick up the master!

Rashford was once the favorite child of Old Trafford fans, but now he has become one of the most unpopular players. Due to irreconcilable conflicts with coach Amorin, he has been regarded by the team as the target for sale this summer.

During the loan of Aston Villa in the winter window, Rashford contributed 4 goals + 5 assists in 17 games and made 9 goals. His performance was quite decent, but Villa missed the Champions League qualification next season and had no intention of buying him out.

But this is not necessarily a bad thing. It is precisely because of the inability to stay in Villa that Barcelona sees the opportunity to introduce him. That is the team that Rashford dreams of joining recently... Although Barcelona has the offensive guardians (Yamar and Rafinia), its bench depth is still weak, and the club needs to strengthen at least one winger this summer.

Liverpool's Dias was originally their key target, but Liverpool's asking price of at least 80 million euros successfully scared away Barcelona. Given the financial impact, a low-cost option is Barcelona's more realistic operation.

Rashford, which has been listed by Manchester United, has entered Barcelona's sight. Manchester United hopes to sell the former prince for 50 million euros, which just matches Rashford's current value in the transfer market.

And on Wednesday, Spanish media photographed Barcelona director Deco and Rashford's agent met at a hotel in Barcelona to discuss signing the players.

According to the Daily Sports News, Rashford is very eager to play at the Camp Nou, and he is even willing to take the initiative to significantly reduce his salary just to facilitate the deal.

After learning about Rashford's wishes, Barcelona gave Manchester United the first offer yesterday, but it was just a loan + selective buyout plan, specifically:

Barcelona will pay 5-10 million euros to loan, and will bear the players' annual salary of about 10 million euros. Currently, Rashford's salary at Manchester United is 365,000 pounds a week, which is about 20.78 million euros per year, that is, Barcelona bears 50%;

In addition, Barcelona has also set a non-mandatory buyout clause of 40 million euros in the summer window of 2026, plus the loan fee of 10 million euros, which can be regarded as meeting Manchester United's asking price.

But this offer seems to be inappetizing to Manchester United, and the club prefers to sell Rashford directly in this summer window rather than letting him continue to rent.

Barcelona is willing to bear 50% of Rashford's annual salary in Manchester United's opinion, because when he loaned Villa in the winter window, Villa paid 75% of the player's salary.

What's more, non-mandatory clauses are insurmountable to Manchester United. If Rashford cannot play at the Camp Nou, there is a possibility of further price drops in next summer window.

Therefore, it is expected that Manchester United will most likely reject Barcelona's offer plan, but the Daily Sports also pointed out another possibility, that is, Barcelona can encourage players to put pressure on Manchester United.

If Rashford refuses to transfer to other clubs and shows that he will not marry unless he is Barcelona, ​​then when the transaction is approaching the deadline, Manchester United may be forced to accept Barcelona's loan plan due to helplessness.
