The England international is on loan at the Spanish club.
Marcus Rashford, a Manchester United loanee, is apparently wanted by FC Barcelona to stay longer than the current campaign. It would be advantageous for the Premier League team.
After being forcefully barred from his childhood club by Ruben Amorim, Rashford is spending the summer on loan at Barça. The 28-year-old underwent a brief period of adjustment. However, for a rare English expat in Catalonia, the campaign has generally been positive.
First England international since Gary Lineker in the 1980s
The first England international to play for Barcelona since Gary Lineker in the 1980s has contributed seven goals and eight assists across all tournaments. Fermín López and Lamine Yamal are the only two of his new teammates who have more goals than him in total.
The dynamic forward, who initially benefited from injuries to many Barcelona frontline players, has not yet become a starter when everyone is fit. When Hansi Flick’s team defeated Athletic Club in the Spanish Super Cup semifinal on Wednesday, Marcus Rashford was one of the substitutes. He came on as a substitute in Sunday’s final against Real Madrid.
The Catalan powerhouses are eager to keep Marcus Rashford longer than the duration of his temporary stay, which finishes with the current season in June, according to reports from a number of publications, including The Athletic.
According to reports, the conditions of this transaction include a release clause worth €30 million (£26 million, $34.9 million), which is far less than the amounts quoted to other suitors last summer for the permanent purchase of Marcus Rashford.
The report states that Barcelona want Marcus Rashford on the roster for the 2026–2027 season, although it does not specifically say that they are ready to activate this condition. They could usually be inventive in how they approach that.
