Marcus Rashford remains one of FC Barcelona's great desires to strengthen their attack, but his incorporation continues to be a chimera due to a determining factor: his salary. The English winger earns close to 19 million euros net per season at Manchester United, a figure that is currently completely out of reach for the Blaugrana club.
The former United star and one of the gems from the academy signed a staggering contract at the time to prevent him from leaving for free. However, that agreement has become a real obstacle for his future. As former player and now commentator Micah Richards has explained, Rashford's talent is not in doubt, but no club is willing to take on such an economic commitment. Not even Aston Villa, which considered keeping him after his loan, could meet the player's salary demands.
Willing to lower his salary, but it's not enough for Barcelona
According to Sport, the player's entourage has already been in contact with Barcelona, and the player himself would be willing to reduce his salary if it allows him to wear the Blaugrana shirt. However, even with a significant decrease in his wages, the Catalan club would need United to collaborate by assuming part of the cost, something that is currently not part of their plans.
Rashford wants to leave Old Trafford, especially since losing prominence with Rúben Amorim's arrival on the bench, and his wish is to play in Spain. But his current contract, valid until 2028, remains the main obstacle. The deal will only be possible if all three parties compromise: Rashford, United, and Barça. As of now, there is no agreement, and time is running out for all sides.
