Marcus Rashford is reportedly open to taking a pay cut to join Barcelona on a short-term loan, with no obligation to buy, according to journalist Toni Juanmarti. This has boosted the possibility of the 27-year-old winger making a move to the Spanish giants, who see the loan as a low-risk move.
Rashford’s future at Manchester United remains in doubt, especially as the club looks to reduce its wage bill—he currently earns £350,000 per week. While United are aiming to receive around £40 million for him, Barcelona may only be able to commit to a loan due to their financial limitations. Rashford’s camp has already held discussions with Barcelona’s sporting director, Deco, signaling genuine interest from the La Liga side.
Barcelona’s top target in attack remains Liverpool winger Luis Díaz, but Rashford’s willingness to accept a temporary move offers the club an alternative as they look to strengthen their front line under financial pressure.
The situation is still unfolding, and more updates are expected as Barcelona continue their summer recruitment efforts.
