Rashford says 'No' to a big-money offer from Arabia

The Manchester United winger wants to resolve his future as soon as possible, and his bet is on Barcelona

Marcus Rashford (27) is one of the players clearly on the market, as his club, Manchester United, no longer counts on him. He is a footballer on the radar of several major clubs. One of them is Barcelona, which sees him as a clear alternative to Luis Díaz. However, the Blaugrana club is not the only suitor. There are also powerful teams from Arabia chasing him. In fact, one of them has made him a very significant offer which, according to sources close to the player, is around 40 million euros. Nevertheless, Rashford has turned down that offer because he is still waiting for Barcelona. The Englishman has a dream of wearing the Blaugrana shirt and knows he is well-placed in Barcelona’s ranking of potential targets. He would also be willing to reduce his salary to fulfill his dream if Barça come for him, considering that his current salary is very high and does not fit within the club’s salary fair play parameters. Rashford could leave Manchester United, who no longer want him, in a loan deal with an option to buy, valued between 30 and 40 million euros.

Marcus Rashford wants to resolve his future as soon as possible. The Englishman hopes to take part in a large part of Barcelona’s pre-season, as he knows this would work in his favor to perform well from the start. Flick’s team begins their pre-season training this Monday and will go on tour on the 24th. Therefore, Rashford is eager to play for Barcelona but would like the club to move quickly to sign him, although the Blaugrana side is in less of a hurry now that Nico Williams is no longer an option, as they have not yet met LaLiga’s 1:1 salary fair play ratio.
