Barcelona is preparing fresh talks with Manchester United for a permanent transfer of Marcus Rashford, after agreeing personal terms with the England forward. Hansi Flick sees Rashford as a key part of his attack, but United is holding firm on a €30 million valuation.
Rashford's loan spell at Barcelona has been productive, with 14 goals and 14 assists in 49 appearances. He is reportedly ready to accept a reduced salary to facilitate the move.
United wants a permanent separation and has rejected proposals for another loan. Barcelona sporting director Deco has explored alternative structures, but United remains firm.
Barcelona believes Rashford's desire to stay in Spain strengthens their position. The forward has no interest in returning to Old Trafford and has discouraged offers from other clubs, limiting United's options.
Alternative targets like Julian Alvarez and Joao Pedro are more expensive, making Rashford Barcelona's priority. Flick is committed to securing his return.
Talks are expected to continue before pre-season and the 2026 World Cup, where Rashford is on England's squad.
