🤯 All because of Rashford: must this Barça star move on? A quick look at the stats is enough to understand why FC Barcelona want to sign Marcus Rashford permanently rather than let him return to United when his loan ends. With ten goals and 13 assists in 39 competitive matches, the 28-year-old is clearly back in his prime.

For his parent club United, however, one thing is clear: only a permanent deal for the England international after this season is an option. Another loan appears to be off the table, meaning the Catalans would have to dig deep into their pockets. According to Sport Bild , the fee being discussed is around £26 million.

To scrape that money together, funds would have to come from player sales. According to the newspaper, Barça are now considering selling Ferran Torres. The 26-year-old is under contract until 2027.

So, in order to have enough money for a Rashford transfer and avoid Torres leaving for free, that would be an option for the Spanish club. The English striker himself has also spoken enthusiastically about FC Barcelona in recent times, giving the impression that he too could very well imagine continuing the partnership beyond the end of the season.
