Manchester United’s Marcus Rashford is keen on a Barcelona move, with talks involving potential financial concessions.
In a remarkable transfer market twist, it seems that Marcus Rashford has agreed to reduce his salary significantly to try and fulfil his dream move to Barcelona.
The English attacker’s desire to join Barcelona has led to lots of speculation, as he currently has a lucrative player wage, which is a huge hurdle to jump.
If the player is willing to take a pay cut, then a blockbuster transfer could be on the horizon for Rashford and Barcelona’s attack!
Marcus Rashford, 27, is a forward for Manchester United.
Former chief scout of Manchester United, Mick Brown, said in an exclusive interview with Football Insider that Rashford is interested in Hansi Flick’s Barcelona, and even switched agents to push a move to the Spanish club.
Rasford’s weekly salary of £350,000 poses difficulties with a permanent transfer, according to Mick Brown, the England international.
A loan deal would look the best as far as achieving a transfer, but if the player is willing to lower his salary, then it is possible to unlock a permanent transfer.
Rashford is now in the sights of Barcelona because his role at United has diminished, and he finished with just 12 goals in 38 appearances this year.
His speed and versatility would fit in well alongside Barcelona’s fluid attacking system, but it’s a hefty financial commitment.
The potential financial consequences – to both United and the player – are enormous a potential total cost in the £130 million range just to ‘buy’ the player over five years between wages and transfer fees.
As negotiations develop, so will the anticipation of the football world in whether Rashford’s ambition to wear the colors of the Barça shirt will become a reality, which would constitute a new chapter for the beleaguered player.
