Rashford spent the season in Spain after a tough period under former head coach Ruben Amorim.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Hansi Flick&#8217;s side retain an option to sign the 28-year-old for \u00a326m this summer, but Bar\u00e7a are reportedly hoping for a further season loan extension to secure Rashford for a reduced fee in the summer of 2027. There is also speculation out of Spain that the La Liga giants are keen to negotiate a lower price to sign Rashford on a permanent deal at the end of this season.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>&#8220;He&#8217;s a really good bloke,&#8221; De Jong told the Guardian when asked about Rashford, leaving no doubt about the forward&#8217;s importance to the team.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>\u201cOpen and kind, he has a huge impact on us on the pitch as well. He really adds a lot to our game with his speed and depth.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>\u201cAnd in doing that, he also forces the opposition defense back a little bit, which creates more space in our middle.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Rashford has already made it clear that he wants to stay in Spain, previously saying: &#8220;Oh, for sure. I enjoy this football club and for anyone who loves football I think Barcelona is one of the most important clubs in the history of football. It&#8217;s an honor for a player.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>From United&#8217;s point of view, Barcelona would have to pay the full \u00a326m option if they wanted to sign the player permanently, but they are reportedly unwilling to accept a reduction in his contract.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>After Saturday&#8217;s 3-2 win over Liverpool sealed their place in the Champions League, United are now focused on maximizing their incoming income to shore up the funds available in the summer transfer window.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>United reportedly have no plans to bring Rashford back into the squad, even if former teammate Michael Carrick remains head coach next season.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Rashford, who has scored 13 goals and provided 14 assists this season, could become La Liga champions if Bar\u00e7a avoid defeat against Real Madrid next Sunday. Flick&#8217;s side need just one point to build an advantage over Madrid, who beat Espanyol 2-0 on Sunday, but Bar\u00e7a maintain an 11-point cushion over Alvaro Arbeloa&#8217;s side with four games in hand.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/sport\/football\/2201728\/marcus-rashford-transfer-man-utd-barcelona\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Marcus Rashford&#8217;s Barcelona teammate Frenkie de Jong has made it abundantly clear how highly regarded the Manchester United loanee is within the club, with a decision over his long-term future drawing ever closer.
