Fabrizio Romano rubbishes wild Marcus Rashford transfer claim

Fabrizio Romano rubbishes wild Marcus Rashford transfer claim Fabrizio Romano has poured cold water on a transfer rumour involving Manchester United loanee Marcus Rashford. Wild claim Rashford has enjoyed an upturn in form and fortunes since joining Barcelona from United last summer on a season-long loan deal. He fell out of favour under now-sacked head coach Ruben Amorim, prompting the club to sanction a temporary exit.

Rashford has plundered 10 goals and 11 assists for Barcelona in 39 appearances across all competitions. The Blaugrana retain the option to make his stay a permanent one for £26m. Hansi Flick has repeatedly praised Rashford, while the forward has also made no secret of his desire to continue at Camp Nou.

Yet, Barcelona have shown no clear indication as to whether or not they plan to keep him. There have been suggestions that Barcelona want to negotiate a lower fee or sign him on another loan deal, with the intention of extending the payment period. United have made it clear they have no desire to modify their terms.

The Red Devils are confident suitors will line up for Rashford if Barcelona don’t pull the trigger. A report covered by The Peoples Person relayed that AC Milan and Paris Saint-Germain are keeping close tabs on the England international’s situation. On Friday, Spanish news outlet Cadena SER claimed that Barcelona’s buy option for Rashford had expired at the end of March and is consequently no longer valid.
