Sources from Barcelona indicate that the club's leadership has decided to retain Marcus Rashford after his loan spell from Manchester United ends in June 2026.
The 28-year-old striker is currently on loan at Nou Camp this season, with an option to buy for £26 million.
Coach Hansi Flick is very impressed with Marcus Rashford, who has contributed 7 goals and 11 assists in 26 matches for the Catalan team.
According to The Athletic, Barcelona's leadership sees the benefits Rashford brings and wants him to stay at the club long-term after his loan contract ends.
In a recent interview, Rashford expressed his wish: "Of course I want to stay at Barca."
That's the ultimate goal, but it's not the reason why I train so hard and give it my all.
The most important thing is to win. Barca is a great team, built to win titles."
Marcus Rashford has just achieved his first victory by winning the Spanish Super Cup. Barcelona defeated their rivals Real Madrid 3-2 in the final early this morning.
The English striker hopes this will be the start of a memorable season with Barca, as the club is also competing for the La Liga title, the Copa Del Rey, and the Champions League.
If the Catalan giants decide to buy Rashford outright, it would be good news for MU's leadership, as they are eager to offload him in order to reduce their wage bill.
