Barcelona in talks with Manchester United over Marcus Rashford

Barcelona are in talks with Manchester United over a deal for Marcus Rashford, according to journalist Ben Jacobs.

Rashford is scheduled to return to Man Utd at the end of the season when his current loan deal with Barcelona finishes.

The England international winger joined Barcelona on a season-long loan deal from Man Utd last summer.

Barcelona have the option to make the loan deal permanent for €30million, but, according to Jacobs, last season’s La Liga winners are planning a different way to keep him.

Jacobs wrote on X: “As revealed in January, Barcelona suggested a second loan of Marcus Rashford.

“Rashford wants to stay, and has already agreed terms.

“Still no breakthrough in talks with Manchester United, leading to suggestions of cooled interest and Barcelona looking at other options.

“Yet the idea of Barcelona signing Rashford hasn’t ended.

“Remains a chance it happens on the right terms. 

“As of now, #MUFC not budging on the €30m option to buy needing to be paid.”
