Marcus Rashford Transfer Update: Barcelona Nears Financial Agreement Amid Manchester United Situation
Barcelona is close to finalizing a “financial agreement” that could influence their pursuit of Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford.
Rashford’s future at United has sparked much speculation recently. The 27-year-old has been absent from United’s last nine matches but was seen training on Wednesday ahead of their Europa League game against Rangers. His last appearance for United came in December against Viktoria Plzen.
There have been reports suggesting that clubs, including Barcelona, are considering a loan move for Rashford before the January transfer window closes. Earlier this week, the Manchester Evening News reported that Rashford has been undergoing additional training sessions, preparing for a return to Ruben Amorim’s starting lineup. This update followed comments from Rashford in December, where he expressed a desire for a “new challenge.”
Fabrizio Romano has shared an update on the links between Rashford and Barcelona, stating that a deal is nearing completion that could affect Rashford’s future. Barcelona is on the brink of announcing a contract extension for Ronald Araujo. Romano explained on his YouTube channel that a “financial agreement” has been reached for Araujo’s renewal, but Barcelona remains active in the race for Rashford’s signature.
Romano also revealed that Marcus Rashford’s agents met with Barcelona representatives on Tuesday in Lisbon for a face-to-face discussion. The meeting was reportedly positive, with Rashford expressing interest in a move to Barcelona.
