Marcus Rashford has done quite well during his loan spell at Barcelona, and they are looking to make the move permanent in the summer.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Barcelona are working hard to secure his signature and is locked in advanced talks with the Premier League club about a potential move. They have the option to make the move permanent for €30 million, but the Spanish club is hoping to sign him for a more reasonable fee.
However, Manchester United are adamant that they want €30 million for the England international, and they are unwilling to lower their demands. It would be interesting to see if both clubs can finalise an agreement in the coming weeks.
Barcelona working on Marcus Rashford deal
Speaking on his YouTube channel, Romano said: “Barcelona have been making huge progress in recent weeks to keep Marcus Rashford at the club beyond this season. Rashford is on loan at Barcelona from Man Utd, but there is a buy option clause of €30million. “Barcelona are in very advanced talks with Rashford and his camp over personal terms. So over a permanent transfer in the summer. Rashford is happy at Barcelona, and the club want him to stay. “He can play as a winger, as a striker, can be a reference for the present and the future of the club. Barcelona are working hard and making huge progress in terms of the contract with Marcus Rashford. “Working on a deal with Man United is going to take some time before we understand the financial solution. Barcelona would like to reduce the €30 million request, while United insist on the €30 million buy option to be activated for Rashford or nothing.”

The 28-year-old attacker is enjoying his football at Barcelona, and he will not want to return to Manchester United. He does not have a future at Old Trafford, and he has been outstanding for the Spanish club. It would be ideal for all parties to get the deal done.
Rashford has recorded 23 goal contributions across all competitions this season, and he is now an indispensable asset for the Spanish club. They must look to add more quality and depth to the attacking unit, and keeping him at the club would be ideal.
