Barcelona wants Rashford but is reluctant to pay for it. It’s too stingy.

A tree dies, a person moves. Rashford, the England international player who was ignored by Manchester United, has completely exploded after joining La Liga giants Barcelona this season, as if he has been connected to both Ren and Du. Data shows that in the past 10 games, he has contributed 3 goals and 5 assists to Barcelona.

Rashford continues to perform well, and Barcelona naturally hopes to keep him in Spain forever. It is reported that Manchester United is open to Rashford's transfer and will not set up any obstacles. Barcelona only needs to pay a buyout fee of 26 million pounds to sign Rashford permanently from Manchester United.

It has to be said that judging from Rashford's current heroic performance in La Liga, Barcelona's 26 million pounds to buy him out is definitely worth the money. You know, if Barcelona wants to buy a player with the same fighting ability, it will cost at least about 60 million euros. Therefore, everyone thought that Barcelona would readily agree to buy out such a cheap and valuable Rashford.

But according to the latest news from the Spanish media "Daily Sports", Barcelona is not so happy. They are also considering implementing such a plan with a lower transfer fee or arranging another loan contract. Once Barcelona's idea was exposed, it immediately sparked heated discussions among netizens and fans. Everyone generally believes that Barcelona is too stingy. Rashford has performed so well and is unwilling to part with 26 million pounds. It really lacks the style of a wealthy team.

Rashford’s Barcelona career can be called a counterattack model. He scored twice against Newcastle in the Champions League, and his post-match rating soared to 9.2 points, ranking first in the team in four categories. The last Barcelona player to do this was Messi in 2015. Even in Barcelona's 1-4 defeat against Sevilla, he still used his stoppage time goal and 11 kilometers of running distance to carry the team's face. What's even more rare is his professional attitude: he took the initiative to cut his salary by 15% to join, was always the last to leave training, and even left teammates with back injuries. He has already conquered the Barcelona locker room.

This kind of performance makes the buyout clause of 26 million pounds seem like a "cabbage price", but Barcelona still has to bargain. It is really unreasonable and too preoccupied.

At present, the three parties are still fighting: Rashford wants to stay, Barcelona wants to save money, and Manchester United wants to sell but does not want to lose too much. Romano has confirmed that Rashford is very likely to stay on the team, but it is still unclear whether Barcelona can successfully lower the price as expected. Perhaps for Barcelona, ​​instead of worrying about the price difference of millions and damaging their reputation, they should continuously activate the buyout clause to lock in the new core. Because Rashford, the prodigal son, deserves better treatment from Barcelona.
