On February 10, according to Sport, Barcelona are looking to sign Marcus Rashford permanently from Manchester United, but they will not do so at any cost.
The report notes that four first-team players at Barcelona are out of contract this June: Marcus Rashford (on loan), João Cancelo (on loan), Robert Lewandowski, and Andreas Christensen.
Rashford’s loan deal includes a €30 million buy option, which rises to around €40 million with taxes. Barça want to continue working with the England forward, but not at any cost, and they may also discuss extending his loan with Manchester United.
Cancelo’s loan does not include a purchase option, but the player himself wants to stay at Barcelona. The club could decide whether to keep the Portuguese star based on his performances for the rest of the season.
As for Christensen, Sport states that Barcelona have decided to offer a new contract to the Danish defender, who is currently recovering from injury.
The most uncertain situation surrounds Lewandowski. According to the report, the Polish striker must accept a significant pay cut if he wants to stay for another season.
Although Lewandowski currently looks more likely to leave, his goalscoring form could still change everything.
