Marcus Rashford’s future is causing a lot of noise in the transfer market. The English striker from Manchester United, in disagreement with his management, wishes to join FC Barcelona. But despite his stated desire, the financial constraints of the Catalan club complicate the operation.
Rashford wants Catalonia
Trained at Manchester United, Marcus Rashford aspires to a new start at 27. Seduced by Barça’s style of play, the England international sees Catalonia as the ideal setting to relaunch his career. According to people close to the player, this destination is his priority. However, he will have to face certain economic realities. Although his transfer is estimated at less than 40 million euros, his annual salary of 17 million euros net is a major obstacle for Barça in search of financial stability.
A dilemma between sporting and financial ambitions
For the operation to be viable, the Blaugranas would require a salary cut in half, which Rashford has not yet accepted. Meanwhile, tensions with Manchester United intensify. Coach Ruben Amorim, exasperated by the situation, tries to remain focused on sporting performances despite criticism of Rashford’s lack of involvement.
If Barça remains the player’s dream, other suitors, such as Saudi clubs or PSG, could take advantage of the situation. The latter would be ready to satisfy his financial demands, presenting Rashford with a difficult choice between sporting ambitions and wallet.
