Marcus Rashford Considers Barcelona Move, Lowers Salary Demands

Marcus Rashford’s future at Manchester United is uncertain as he reconsiders salary expectations to join Barcelona. On loan at Aston Villa, he scored four goals and provided five assists but won’t stay permanently. Rashford is willing to reduce his £315,000 weekly wage only for Barcelona, aiming to play Champions League football next season.

After the recent loan spell at Aston Villa, Marcus Rashford’s future at Manchester United remains uncertain as the summer transfer window approaches. Despite being under contract with United until 2028, Rashford appears ready to move on, reconsidering his earlier stance on his salary demands. Previously demanding a reported £315,000 per week, the 27-year-old England forward is now open to taking a significant pay cut, but only if it means securing a dream transfer to FC Barcelona.

During his time at Aston Villa, Rashford showed promising signs of revival, contributing four goals and five assists. However, Villa have not pursued a permanent deal, and talks have yet to begin, possibly due to Rashford’s preference for a different destination. Barcelona, who had shown interest in January but prioritized internal contract renewals, could now reignite their pursuit.

With their qualification for next season’s Champions League secured, the Spanish club offers Rashford the platform to compete at the highest level in Europe. Rashford’s season has ended early due to a hamstring injury, ruling him out of Aston Villa’s remaining matches, including their final clash against Manchester United. As speculation grows, Rashford seems determined to take a bold step by joining Barcelona, aiming to restart his career on his own terms.
