Barcelona told club could commit ‘robbery’ with Rashford transfer
Barcelona told club could commit ‘robbery’ with Rashford transfer Rio Ferdinand has said Barcelona would be committing a ‘robbery’ if the club sign Marcus Rashford from Manchester United for £26m. Rashford scored a brilliant free-kick as Barcelona beat Real Madrid 2-0 to seal La Liga title success on Sunday. The 28-year-old’s goal was the 14th of his loan spell with the Spanish champions, having joined on a season-long deal last summer.
Barcelona are yet to commit to a permanent transfer, despite Rashford expressing a desire to stay at the Camp Nou. Ferdinand said he cannot understand Barcelona’s hesitancy to sanction what would represent a bargain deal. “If Barcelona get Rashford for the reported £26M that we’re talking about, that is an absolute robbery,” Ferdinand told Rio Ferdinand Presents.
“What a loan signing he’s been for Barcelona. Would you have that Marcus Rashford back? 100%, but I think that ship is sailed.
“I think deep down he wants to STAY at Barcelona and I just hope that actually materializes for him. ” Read – Every English goalscorer in El Clásico history See more – Moments that made the Premier League: Chelsea’s final-day victory ushers in the Abramovich era Follow the Football Faithful on Social Media: Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | YouTube | TikTok
