Overview
- Spanish reports say Barcelona will activate the buy option and pay Manchester United €30 million in three annual €10m installments.
- Rashford has provisionally agreed a three-year contract that includes a significant salary reduction to fit LaLiga’s wage limits after talks between Deco and agent Arturo Canales.
- Manchester United are reported to be holding firm that the full €30m clause must be paid, with no discount.
- Completion is contingent on Barcelona meeting financial fair play and registration requirements, so formal announcements have not yet been made.
- Rashford’s strong loan season under Hansi Flick — around 10 goals and 11–13 assists — underpins Barça’s decision to pursue a permanent deal.
