Marcus Rashford is set to leave Manchester United. If everything led us to believe that he was heading towards FC Barcelona, several big problems suggest that the operation will not take place.
Marcus Rashford's career is at an important turning point. The one who has always only known Manchester United, from his earliest childhood to today, is at odds with his favorite club. He is no longer part of his management's plans, nor those of Ruben Amorim. A few days after being excluded from the group by his coach for the match against Manchester City on December 15, Rashford confirmed his desire to discover new horizons. An outing which did not please internally and which almost definitively broke the relationship between the two parties. Several European big names immediately expressed their interest in the British star. FC Barcelona quickly fell in favor of the player. If everything led to believe, until now, that he was going to commit there, several factors suggest that he will not sign there.
Rashford moves away from Barca
According to Graeme Bailey's revelations published in Unitedinfocus, three major issues could prevent Marcus Rashford from joining FC Barcelona. The first is obvious: the financial setbacks that the Blaugrana management is encountering are a huge obstacle to a definitive signing of the Mancunian. The Red Devils are willing to pay up to 50% of his salary until the end of the season if he leaves on loan. Barça can't even afford the rest of his salary. Second problem, the form of the deal, indicates the British journalist. The Catalans prefer to add a purchase option to the loan, rather than an obligation, which does not suit the Mancunian management who wants to part with their player permanently. Finally, with the offensive armada that the Barcelona club already has, there are some doubts about the playing time that Rashford would have by coming to Catalonia.
-Three important factors which make TEAMtalk say that there is a good chance that Marcus Rashford will ultimately not sign up for Barça. In any case, negotiations will remain at a standstill until the Catalan management has accepted the idea of adding a purchase obligation to the loan contract. Fortunately, other clubs are still showing interest in the player, such as Borussia Dortmund, Juventus, Premier League clubs, and even AS Monaco. It remains to be seen in which direction he will go, knowing that spending a few more months at Manchester United is also a possibility for him.
