Barcelona and Manchester United in broad agreement over initial loan move for England forward Marcus Rashford, who has previously indicated his desire to play for the LaLiga side; Rashford’s Man Utd career has appeared over since a public fall-out with Ruben Amorim last winter
Barcelona have a broad agreement in principle with Manchester United over the signing of Marcus Rashford.
Talks are ongoing over a loan move with an option to buy. One source has told Sky Sports News discussions will centre on the portion of wage payment and possible compensation should Barcelona not take up the option to buy.
Rashford publicly said he would like to play for Barcelona earlier this summer. When asked by a Spanish influencer if he would like to play alongside Lamine Yamal, Rashford said: “Yes, for sure. Everyone wants to play with the best. Hopefully… we’ll see.”
United have been creative in the past with loan departures – notably with Jadon Sancho’s moves to Borussia Dortmund in 2024 and Chelsea last season.
United made a profit on Sancho’s wages when he was at Dortmund thanks to an incentivised payment structure.
Furthermore, they received a £5m penalty payment from Chelsea earlier this summer when Chelsea did not take up their obligation to buy.
