In a significant development, journalist Fabrizio Romano has reported that Barcelona intend to complete the permanent signing of Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford, who is currently playing on loan with the Catalan club.
According to the information provided, the Blaugrana are keen to activate the €30 million purchase option for the English attacker.
Rashford joined Barcelona on a season-long loan from Manchester United in the summer, with a clause allowing for a permanent transfer.
The 28-year-old forward has adapted well to the team and has frequently delivered strong performances, although some aspects of his game still leave room for improvement.
From a statistical perspective, Rashford has played 23 official matches, scoring seven goals and providing nine assists — figures that confirm his immediate impact on the team. Beyond the numbers, he has contributed to the squad’s attacking depth, becoming a reliable option both as a starter and as a game-changing substitute.
The English forward has convinced the coaching staff and the sporting management thanks to the consistent level of performances he has shown since his arrival.
Following the recent departure of Ruben Amorim from Manchester United, the possibility of Rashford returning to Old Trafford at the end of the season was raised.
However, based on the current situation, it appears that the forward is closer to staying at Barcelona than returning to England, as the Catalan club are ready to activate the €30 million buyout clause.
