FC Barcelona has practically secured the continuity of Marcus Rashford for the next season. The 28-year-old English forward has exceeded expectations during his loan, accumulating 10 goals and 11 assists. Given this remarkable performance, the Catalan club has decided to execute the 30 million euro purchase option agreed with Manchester United.
Payment Facilities and Secured Salary
The operation is economically attractive for the Catalan entity, as the payment would be made in three annual installments of 10 million, according to information from Mundo Deportivo. Moreover, the sports management will not have to negotiate terms with the player, since the salary and contract duration (between three and four years) were secured in the loan agreement signed last July.
"Fair Play", the Last Obstacle
Although Rashford's desire is to stay at Spotify Camp Nou, the final execution depends solely on the club managing to fit the figures within LaLiga's strict financial 'fair play' parameters. If the salary margin allows it, "Rashi" will continue to be the offensive reference for the team beyond the 2026 World Cup.
