Signing about to happen?: United sees Rashford's loan to Barça as feasible

Marcus Rashford is still waiting to resolve his departure from Manchester United. The 27-year-old forward is not in the plans of coach Rúben Amorim and wants to go to FC Barcelona, although he would arrive at the team led by Hansi Flick to be a substitute for Raphinha and Lamine Yamal.

However, Barça is still not clear about his signing due to two important factors: his release price and high salary. As far as the transfer value is concerned, the 'Culés' may also receive good news soon from England. According to the 'ESPN' network, the 'Red Devils' would give the green light to a new loan move for Marcus.

Rashford to Barça: United gives in, but his salary is the wall

The reason has to do with the fact that no club seems willing to pay the 40 million euros set for his transfer. This scenario led to the loan to Aston Villa in January, where he left a good impression (4 goals and 6 assists in 17 games).

Returning to the salary issue, a major obstacle for the 'Azulgrana' budget, the player's position also favors the 'Culés' interests. Rashford earns 20 'kilos' gross annually, emoluments that Barça is not in a position to assume.

However, the forward is willing to significantly lower his salary to facilitate his arrival in Catalonia, although there are currently no updates regarding his contract with United, which ends in 2028.

If, finally, 'Man U' negotiates a simple loan with Barça, it is likely that the 'Culés' will have to assume a majority percentage of the winger's salary. Otherwise, if the Catalans decide to buy him, they will have to pay 40 'kilos' net.

For his part, Hansi Flick would have already given the 'ok' to the arrival of the Manchester 'crack', understanding that his incorporation will be very valuable for the devastating 'Azulgrana' attack. Rashford's best goal-scoring season at Old Trafford was 22/23, in which he scored 30 goals in 56 games.

One of those goals was scored, precisely, against Barça in the 'play off' of the Europa League, where the English team won by a global score of 3-2. Thus, the 28-year-old forward continues to be profiled as one of the favorites to reinforce a Barça that, in 24/25, scored 173 goals in 60 games (2.88 per game).
