Is Marcus Rashford on his way to Camp Nou? As the summer transfer window heats up, one of the biggest stories unfolding is the potential move of Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford to Spanish giants Barcelona.
Rashford Wants the Move
The England international has made headlines after publicly expressing his admiration for Barcelona—specifically his desire to link up with rising superstar Lamine Yamal.
In a recent conversation with Spanish media, Rashford didn’t hide his excitement about the idea of playing in La Liga and embracing the lifestyle and culture of Spain.
Even more revealing? The 26-year-old is reportedly willing to take a significant pay cut to make the dream move happen. That’s how serious he is.
Barcelona’s Position
Barcelona, currently managing tight finances under La Liga’s Financial Fair Play rules, have confirmed interest in Rashford.
Sporting Director Deco and new manager Hansi Flick view Rashford as a strong attacking option—especially if other deals, like that for Luis Díaz or Nico Williams, don’t materialize.
However, for the move to go through, Barcelona may need to offload players first, with names like Ansu Fati and Raphinha potentially on the chopping block.
What About Manchester United?
Manchester United are reportedly open to letting Rashford leave if the right offer comes.
The club values him around £40 million, and with INEOS looking to reshape the squad under Sir Jim Ratcliffe, cashing in on a struggling Rashford might make sense.
After a disappointing 2024/25 season, Rashford’s form has dipped, and many at Old Trafford believe a fresh start could benefit both parties.
