The player is on loan from Manchester United and Barcelona have an option to buy, set at 30 million euros. The Blaugrana club hope to do so effectively and retain the English player. No final decision has been made as there are still two months of competition left and they want to see how the season ends.<\/p>\n<p>On Friday, Joan Laporta made some surprising statements that open up new possibilities. The former president suggested a new scenario: a new loan for the player. Laporta told Zigentes: &#8220;There is a possibility of extending the loan further, but it depends on Deco&#8217;s wishes. We have a formula: part of the buy option will be exercised at United, and the rest will follow. We are considering the strategy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"ue-c-article__summary\">\n<figure class=\"ue-c-article__media ue-c-article__media--video  video-dailymotion\"><figcaption class=\"ue-c-article__media-caption\" itemprop=\"description\">\n<p><span class=\"ue-c-article__media-description\">Wayne Rooney causes awkward moment with Marcus Rashford&#8217;s girlfriend during courtside meeting<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote class=\"ue-c-article__blockquote\">\n<p>&#8220;We could extend the loan.

The player will be loaned to the Catalan club for one season, with an option to buy for 30 million euros. Moreover, if you decide to acquire a player, you do not need to negotiate with anyone, since the economic contract with the player is already concluded, you only need to activate the option.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"ue-c-article__subheadline\">renegotiate options<\/h2>\n<p>However, according to the words of the former Barcelona president, who left the decision to Deco, Barcelona now want to change the scenario. I don&#8217;t think that can be done after everything has been agreed with the other party. This would complicate the situation because players&#8217; salaries would have to be renegotiated. Above all, it is necessary to confirm whether the player agrees that the contract has not been completed as agreed. And Rashford wants Bar\u00e7a.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"ue-c-article__subheadline\">united is waiting<\/h2>\n<p>And Manchester United rub their hands in response to Laporta&#8217;s words. If Barcelona wish to change his contract, they must keep in mind that the player&#8217;s market value would be higher than 30 million euros, taking into account his performance within the team. It is natural that prices will rise if the agreement changes, and they could rise significantly.<\/p>\n<p>Sources familiar with the negotiations say it is impossible at this point to do anything other than apply the agreement reached between Barcelona, \u200b\u200bUnited and the players last summer. It will take a few weeks for Barcelona to make a final decision.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.marca.com\/en\/football\/barcelona\/2026\/03\/14\/69b575c3e2704e764b8b45cb.html\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u25cbOne of the topics that will be discussed between now and the end of the season is the retention of Marcus Rashford.
