Barcelona are close to securing Marcus Rashford on a permanent basis after agreeing personal terms with the 28-year-old forward. Rashford wants to stay, Barcelona want to keep him, and Hansi Flick is believed to be pleased with his contributions. The main obstacle remains the transfer fee structure between Barcelona and Manchester United. Manchester United want the agreed fee paid, while Barcelona seek a payment structure that better fits their financial situation. Reports previously indicated a permanent option around €26 million, but Barcelona were reluctant to trigger it exactly as written due to budget limits. Rashford’s loan spell has been strong, with 14 goals and 11 assists, helping Barcelona win the league under Flick.
"Reports in Spain and Catalonia have credited him with a strong loan campaign, including 14 goals and 11 assists, as Barcelona won the league under Flick. Frenkie de Jong has also publicly backed him to stay, praising the threat he gives Barcelona in attack. That kind of impact explains why Barcelona are trying to keep him."
