Rashford's future is uncertain. |
Joining Camp Nou on loan, the English striker immediately integrated and exploded with 6 goals, 7 assists after 16 matches in all competitions. Barcelona has the right to buy Rashford outright for a fee of about 30 million euros. However, according to El Nacional , the Catalan club's leadership is still hesitant despite being satisfied with his current form.
The hesitation stems from a number of factors. Rashford has largely played during Raphinha's injury absence. When the Brazilian returns, Barca are yet to determine what role Rashford will play in Hansi Flick's system. In addition, the club wants to prioritise a new striker next summer to replace Robert Lewandowski. Julian Alvarez, a player of Atletico Madrid, is considered the number one target.
The source said that activating the buyout clause for Rashford could cost almost the entire transfer budget of Barca. In that context, the player's representatives have opened meetings with Chelsea and Tottenham to discuss the possibility of a transfer in the summer of 2026.
Rashford's priority is still to continue his association with Barcelona, where he feels trusted and finds inspiration to play again. However, the English striker is ready to consider other options if Barca do not promote a long-term contract, especially when the door to return to Manchester United is almost closed.
According to The Athletic , coach Ruben Amorim has clearly informed the MU board that he has no plans to use Rashford, despite the player's revival in form. MU is said to hope that Barca will not activate the buyout clause, thereby opening the opportunity to sell Rashford for a higher price to Premier League partners such as Chelsea or Tottenham.
Rashford is flourishing at Camp Nou, but his future will be decided soon, and it is unlikely to be at Old Trafford.
