Barcelona is determined to sign Marcus Rashford before the winter transfer window is closed next week, and new steps have been taken in the negotiations. Previously, the conversations had only taken place between the Catalan club and the player’s agent, but now, all parties are on the table.
At this stage, Barcelona cannot meet Manchester United demands of a loan agreement, since they do not have the salary space to pay 100% of Rashford’s salaries. The way they can do this is to download Ansu Fati, but although the club presses hard to convince the young attacker to leave, he continues to defend himself for now.
While a job is being done on that avenue, the Telegraph (through sport) has now reported that Barcelona and Man United have entered negotiations for the first time: these discussions are being carried out through Dwaine Maynard, who is the brother and representative of the English international.
Rashford is not in the plans of Man United coach, Ruben Amorim, but despite this, the Premier League giants will not allow an agreement to be made unless the player’s complete salary is covered for the second half of the season. Barcelona has already reported that yours is currently impossible, and due to its well -documented financial problems, they can only cover 50%.
Barcelona has ambitions to sign for Rashford permanently, but for now, it is a loan without an option to buy that is being discussed with Man United. In the summer, conversations are expected regardless of whether a temporary agreement is organized in the next five days, and according to the report, the Premier League team would be sold for 40 million euros. However, they also want it to be valued during the second half of the current campaign, which will not happen unless it goes.
