Rashford’s Camp Denies Barcelona Bid as Striker Waits for Decision
The English forward remains committed to joining FC Barcelona despite reports suggesting a formal offer has already been made.
The future of Marcus Rashford remains one of the major talking points of the transfer market. While training with England’s national team in the United States, the forward continues to await clarity regarding his next destination, with FC Barcelona still his preferred choice.
Sources close to the player have denied reports from England claiming that Barcelona submitted a €15 million offer to Manchester United FC and that it had already been rejected. According to those sources, no formal proposal has yet been communicated to the Premier League side.
Barcelona still has time to decide whether to activate the agreed €30 million purchase option or attempt to negotiate a lower fee. Another possibility under consideration is a renewed loan agreement that would allow Rashford to remain at the club under different financial terms.
A significant factor in the situation is Rashford’s relationship with manager Hansi Flick. The German coach reportedly indicated at the end of the season that the player remained part of his plans, encouraging the striker to remain patient while the club evaluates its options. Rashford is eager to settle his future before the World Cup begins, allowing him to focus entirely on international duty. After contributing 14 goals and 12 assists during the campaign, he believes Barcelona represents the ideal environment for the next stage of his career.
Meanwhile, Manchester United continues to wait for a definitive answer. Premier League clubs such as Aston Villa FC and Tottenham Hotspur FC remain interested and are reportedly capable of meeting United’s financial demands. Nevertheless, Rashford’s position remains unchanged: his top priority is a return to Barcelona.
