Marcus Rashford (Barcelona)
October 2025
Barcelona are preparing to activate Marcus Rashford’s £30 million permanent purchase option following his strong start under Hansi Flick. The 27-year-old has revived his career in Spain after joining on loan from Manchester United, scoring three goals and assisting five in his first ten matches.
Barca’s management, initially wary of his inconsistent final years at Old Trafford, are now convinced after his key Champions League performance at Newcastle. Sporting director Deco and manager Flick both back the permanent deal, which would include £5 million in add-ons. Rashford’s resurgence has also revived his England prospects ahead of the 2026 World Cup.
