In a new development following the sacking of Ruben Amorim, Barcelona have officially communicated to Marcus Rashford’s camp their intention to sign the forward permanently.
The 28-year-old’s “Barcelona chapter” is expected to last for a long time despite the recent management change at Manchester United, where Rashford was previously shut out by Amorim.
Barcelona and Manchester United are anticipated to negotiate the buyout clause in the loan deal, which was completed in July 2025. 
In order to meet Barcelona’s stringent La Liga salary cap, the England player is prepared to reduce his enormous weekly salary of £315,000 from United. Since Rashford is a member of Manchester United’s academy, Barça is anticipated to make a €30 million bid for the player, which will be recorded as a 100% profit for the team.
At the Spotify Camp Nou, Rashford has completely revived his career and is now an essential “Swiss Army Knife” for Hansi Flick’s league-leading team.
Sources close to the player suggest Rashford has “never been happier,” enjoying the lifestyle in Catalonia and the tactical freedom offered by Flick. With the Man Utd hierarchy also keen to offload his wages to fund a squad rebuild under a new manager, all three parties are now aligned for a permanent exit.
