"FC Barcelona have been heavily impressed by the contributions of on-loan Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford. The 28-year-old Englishman, despite going through spells of inconsistency, has made vital contributions, particularly in the UEFA Champions League, where he has been directly involved in nine goals. As such, Barça intend to sign Rashford permanently at the end of the season. The loan agreement with Manchester United consists of a €30 million purchase option - a figure that the Catalans do not wish to meet. Marc Casado to United for Rashford to Barcelona?"
"As such, they are exploring alternatives - either negotiating a lower price or including a player such as Casado in the deal. The 22-year-old La Masia midfielder has fallen down the pecking order under Hansi Flick this season and has barely featured regularly. His minutes will take a further hit once Gavi is back to full fitness. As such, Barcelona seemingly see the Spaniard as an expendable member of the squad and have offered Manchester United a chance to sign him as part of the deal."
FC Barcelona have been impressed by Marcus Rashford’s contributions while on loan from Manchester United, with the forward directly involved in nine Champions League goals. Barcelona intend to pursue a permanent signing at season’s end, but the existing €30 million purchase option is higher than the club wants to pay. Barcelona are exploring alternatives, including negotiating a lower fee or including Marc Casado in a swap. Marc Casado is a 22-year-old La Masia midfielder who has fallen down the pecking order under Hansi Flick and has limited minutes. Manchester United previously showed interest and made an enquiry this month. Barcelona have offered Casado as part of a potential deal; Manchester United must decide whether to accept.
