Barcelona ponder triggering Marcus Rashford purchase option
Marcus Rashford joined Barcelona on loan during the summer transfer window, and he has done quite well for the Catalan outfit so far.
Marcus Rashford has impressed with his performances, and Barcelona are now contemplating making the move permanent at the end of the season.
According to an update by Turkish journalist Ekrem Konur, the Blaugrana have an option to sign the player permanently for a fee of around €30-35 million. It will be interesting to see if Barcelona decide to pay the asking price and make the move permanent at the end of the season.
Barcelona move would be ideal for Rashford
The 27-year-old does not have a future at Manchester United, and he will look to leave the club permanently at the end of this season. Joining Barcelona would be ideal for him. The England international is clearly enjoying his football once again, and he has been an important player for the Spanish club so far.
The Englishman has been outstanding in the UEFA Champions League for the Spanish outfit, and he could help them win major trophies in the near future. Rashford is capable of operating anywhere across the front, and he would be a very useful acquisition for Barcelona in the long term.
Rashford is very much at the peak of his powers, and he is likely to play his best football over the next few seasons. It would make sense for Barcelona to secure his signature for the long run. The reported €30-35 million asking price is quite reasonable for a player of his quality.
The English international was regarded as one of the finest attacking players in the Premier League not so long ago, and he will look to get back to that level once again. Barcelona are already lacking depth in the attacking unit, and signing the 27-year-old will help them rotate their players.
The Manchester United misfit is capable of operating in multiple roles, and he could be a valuable player for them. The opportunity to join the reigning La Liga champions permanently will be quite exciting for the player as well. The 27-year-old academy graduate will not want to return to Manchester United, where he is not part of the manager’s plans anymore.
