Marcus Rashford moved to Barcelona on loan from Manchester United after falling out with the club’s previous manager, Ruben Amorim.
He played for Aston Villa in the second half of the last season. And he always wanted to join Barcelona, and since joining the Catalan club, his performances have improved drastically.
At Birmingham, he already showed what he can do. He had 9 goal contributions in 17 appearances for Unai Emery’s men.
However, they declined to make his move permanent for £40 million. So, he left for Barcelona with a buyout clause for €30 million.
For the Catalan giants, the England star has already made 35 appearances and has 23 goal contributions. Thus, the Barcelona manager, Hansi Flick, wants to make the move permanent.
However, his salary and bonuses in his current deal are making the move tough for the Blaugrana. That is why Rashford has decided to take extreme measures to force the move.
According to TEAMtalk, Marcus Rashford is prepared to give a certain part of his wage and certain bonuses to make the move to Barcelona permanent.
The 28-year-old is enjoying his time in Spain. So, he is ready to compromise financially to secure a permanent move.
Now, Barcelona are also trying to negotiate and lower the €30 million transfer fee. Also, United are expecting an approach from PSG for a higher fee.
However, Rashford’s willingness to stay at Barcelona could prove decisive in this deal.
