Barcelona want to sign Marcus Rashford for €20 million, face Atletico Madrid threat
Manchester United academy graduate Marcus Rashford is currently on loan at Barcelona, and his long-term future is uncertain.
Marcus Rashford has done quite well for Barcelona, and they have an option to sign him permanently for a fee of €30 million. However, a report by TEAMtalk has claimed that Barcelona are hoping to sign him for a more reasonable price, and they are prepared to pay €20 million to get the deal done.
It will be interesting to see if Manchester United are willing to lower their demands for the England International. The 28-year-old does not have a future at Old Trafford, and he will look to leave them permanently at the end of the season.
The Englishman is enjoying his football with Barcelona, and it remains to be seen whether he can secure a permanent move to the Catalan club. The Blaugrana are among the biggest clubs in the world, and the opportunity to play for them regularly will be exciting for Marcus Rashford.
Atletico Madrid eyeing Rashford move
Meanwhile, Atletico Madrid are interested in Marcus Rashford as well. Los Rojiblancos could use more quality and depth in their attacking unit, and the Manchester United misfit would be ideal for them. He has proven himself in La Liga, and there is no doubt that he could improve Atletico Madrid.
It will be interesting to see if both clubs are willing to pay €20 million for the player. Manchester United would prefer to sell him for €30 million, and Atletico Madrid are prepared to pay up. It could be difficult for Barcelona to get the deal done. Meanwhile, the English striker will look to sort out his future quickly so that he can focus on his football once again.
Marcus Rashford was a tremendous asset for Manchester United in the past, but he is no longer a key player for them under the new manager. Ruben Amorim has already invested in multiple attacking players, and he will look to get rid of fringe options now. It remains to be seen where the 28-year-old England international ends up eventually.
