Barcelona will likely seal a deal worth £25 million for Marcus Rashford next summer, with Manchester United ready to sanction the 27-year-old English attacker’s permanent exit.

According to a report by The Sun, Marcus Rashford may seal a permanent move to Barcelona next summer. The reigning La Liga champions are ready to keep the Manchester United misfit at the club for the long haul after his impressive performance since arriving on a season-long loan deal this past summer.

The latest update has revealed that the Catalan giants are ready to complete a permanent deal for Rashford, and they will pay £25 million to Manchester United to keep Rashford at the club beyond the 2025/26 season. Interestingly, the Englishman may see Mason Greenwood joining him next year, with Barcelona keen on signing the former Manchester United prodigy.

The Marcus Rashford renaissance

Marcus Rashford has continued reviving his fortunes since joining Barcelona from Manchester United on a season-long loan deal in the summer transfer window. The 27-year-old moved to Barcelona after an excellent spell with Aston Villa in the second half of the 2024/25 season. After that, the academy graduate secured his dream move to Barcelona.

The English international has amassed five goals and six assists in 12 appearances across all competitions thus far for Barcelona. So, it is hardly surprising that Rashford has impressed Flick enough to compel the Blaugrana to contemplate seeking a permanent move. The latest update has brought good news for the Manchester United misfit.

Permanent move on the horizon?

Barcelona’s interest in sealing a permanent deal for Marcus Rashford makes sense. While the Manchester United misfit did not immediately become a regular starter for the Blaugrana, the club’s injury crisis has helped his cause. So, the Manchester United misfit has become a first-choice starter in the absence of Raphinha and Robert Lewandowski. That has also led to an impressive output in the final third.

So, it is hardly surprising that Hansi Flick wants Barcelona to complete a permanent move for Rashford. That will likely happen next summer, with the 27-year-old Englishman also keen on an extended stay at the Catalan club. The latest update has revealed that Barcelona will pay £25 million to Manchester United for Rashford’s signature.

Meanwhile, Rashford may not be the only player recently associated with Manchester United to join Barcelona, as the reigning La Liga champions are also keen on signing Mason Greenwood from Marseille. A move will benefit Manchester United due to a sell-on clause in the agreement with Marseille. It will be interesting to see what the future holds for the controversial English attacker.
