After reviving his career away from Manchester United, Marcus Rashford has won his first trophy with Barcelona.
This weekend, the United loanee helped Barca defeat Real Madrid in the El Classico Supacoppa Final, successfully defending their title from last year.
With seven goals and 11 assists in 27 games, Rashford has caught the attention of Barca’s manager Hansi Flick, leading to talks about a permanent transfer.
Flick is keen on keeping Rashford, and last week, the Spanish club approved the move.
Following this decision, club sporting director Deco has met with Rashford’s agent.
According to talkSPORT, Barcelona and Manchester United have had discussions about a deal.
While an option to buy for £26 million was in the loan agreement, Barcelona is not rushing to activate it.
Discussions have focused on either a second loan or a more affordable transfer.
Rashford views this move as a dream opportunity, having expressed interest in joining Barca after his loan with Aston Villa last summer.
The main challenge for Barcelona is their ongoing financial issues, which have affected the club for a while.
The team often faces difficulties registering new signings each season.
This is why the idea of a second season-long loan with a potential buy option was proposed.
Manchester United prefers a permanent transfer this summer, believing that the £26 million fee is fair.
