Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford has begun preliminary discussions regarding a potential summer transfer to FC Barcelona, according to reports from Spain.
After finding himself on the periphery of Manchester United’s first team under manager Ruben Amorim, Rashford was allowed to join Aston Villa on loan during the January transfer window. As his loan tenure with Aston Villa comes to a close at the end of the season, it’s clear that Rashford is considering his future, particularly in light of the current management situation at Old Trafford.
Marcus Rashford has expressed a desire to join Barcelona, and reports from Mundo Deportivo indicate that initial conversations have already taken place between the two parties. To facilitate the transfer, he has engaged veteran agent Pini Zahavi, who is known for his strong connections with Barcelona’s president, Joan Laporta, and the club itself. Zahavi also represents prominent figures like Barcelona head coach Hansi Flick and striker Robert Lewandowski.

Barcelona has expressed interest in potentially signing Rashford on loan and is keeping an eye on his situation as summer gets closer. One major obstacle, though, is his current salary, which stands at £350,000 a week. Despite this, it seems that Marcus Rashford is open to discussing a pay cut to make a move happen.
Rashford is currently dealing with a hamstring injury, which has kept him out of the last two matches for Villa. It’s a tough break for him, especially with key games coming up against Bournemouth and Tottenham. To make matters more poignant, he won’t get the chance to face his parent club, Manchester United, in their final match on May 25. This situation shifts the focus onto what could be next for him in his career, as he prepares for a future beyond just this season.
