Man Utd willing to sell Marcus Rashford to Premier League rival

Manchester United are willing to let Marcus Rashford join a Premier League team if Barcelona fail to honour the permanent transfer agreement currently in place.

Rashford has spent the season on loan at Camp Nou, and has been able to prove his worth under the guidance of Hansi. Flick. However, he might make a sensational return back to the Premier League next season.

According to ESPN, Man United chiefs are reportedly relaxed about the England international future.

However, they have no intention of lowering their financial demands to please Barcelona’s situation.
Under the terms of the loan deal struck last July, Barca have an option to sign the 28-year-old permanently for a fee of €30 million (£26m/$35m).

Barca are reportedly looking at re-negotiating the deal but United have made it clear they will not entertain fresh talks for a lower figure.

United are aware that Rashford’s stock has risen following a productive spell in La Liga, where he has netted 10 goals in 39 appearances. The Red Devils are prepared to walk away from the Barca deal entirely if the Spanish side attempts to defer payments or request another loan spell.

Despite Rashford’s impact in Spain, Barcelona’s well-documented economic struggles continue to cloud the operation.

Barcelona Sporting director Deco recently addressed how the club financial struggles could affect Rashford’s situation. He told reporters: “[Rashford staying?] The matter is tied to financial fair play, priorities, performance, and the coach’s decision, and it’s something we haven’t done yet because it’s not the right time.”

President Joan Laporta has also hinted at the possibility of a structured deal rather than a straightforward permanent transfer. “We could extend the loan further. It depends on what Deco wants. There are formulas, such as paying part of the buy option to Manchester United and figuring out the rest later,” Laporta stated.
