Overview
- Multiple Spanish reports say Barcelona will activate the €30m buy option, with Manchester United agreeing to a structure of three €10m payments.
- Rashford has agreed in principle to a significant wage reduction on a proposed three‑year contract following talks between Deco and his agent.
- Manchester United’s stance remains firm that the full €30m clause must be paid, with no discount accepted.
- Completion is contingent on Barcelona fitting the transfer and salary within LaLiga’s financial fair play framework and final paperwork at season’s end.
