Rashford Stirs Controversy Over His Future with a Cryptic Message
The Catalan club acknowledges that it will have to pay 30 million euros as the purchase clause, and the player’s salary is currently being adjusted to ensure the financial feasibility of completing the deal. Rashford posted a message on his social media accounts implying that it is only a matter of time, affirming that he wants to stay and will stay.
Rashford’s participation this season has been a pleasant surprise for the club, after difficult years with his previous club. The coach who advocated for his arrival has expressed confidence in maximizing his capabilities, which has indeed been achieved, as Rashford has become one of the most effective forwards in the team, scoring ten goals and providing thirteen assists in 34 matches, making him a significantly influential player.
The Catalan club considers the player’s value fair compared to the prices of players in his position in the market. However, it was necessary to adjust the player’s contract, given his large contract with Manchester United until June 2028, to ensure the club can afford his salary without financial issues.
In the club’s plan, the amounts due to the player will be spread over the new long-term contract, where he is expected to join Barcelona continuously for no less than three seasons. Rashford has confirmed his full readiness to stay, expressing his great happiness in the city and his clear desire to continue with the club, with no intention of returning to the Premier League.
The deal is being prepared quietly, and if no obstacles such as injuries occur, it is expected to be announced by the end of the season. The club believes that Rashford’s international experience will contribute to a young team seeking future dominance, and his market value is rising, making the club confident in recouping its investment if it decides to sell the player later.
