Barca put an end to Rashford's plans.

Barcelona have decided not to activate Marcus Rashford's €30 million release clause, thus putting an end to speculation surrounding the English striker's future.

Barcelona will not buy Rashford outright.

According to Fichajes , the Catalan club's management is opting for a more cautious approach, prioritizing options that align with their long-term financial strategy rather than a costly and potentially risky deal.

Given the strict financial fair play regulations, Barcelona has reason to spend cautiously. Instead, the Camp Nou club focuses on more sustainable solutions, with young, affordable players, or free transfers that can provide long-term value.

As for Rashford, Barcelona's failure to activate the buyout clause means his future remains tied to Manchester United, at least in the short term. However, the possibility of the English striker seeking a new club is not yet closed, especially as the Red Devils enter a period of squad restructuring.

Joining Barcelona in the summer, Rashford became a key player in coach Hansi Flick's system. He played 24 matches in all competitions, scoring 7 goals and providing 11 assists.

Notably, Rashford has only missed one game since the start of the season due to a fever, demonstrating his consistent fitness and form. However, that was still not enough to convince Barcelona to keep Rashford long-term.
