As the winter transfer window nears its end, Barcelona remains determined to secure Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford, who has emerged as a key target to bolster their attacking options.
The 27-year-old Englishman has seen his role diminish at Manchester United but continues to attract interest from other clubs, including West Ham United.
Rashford Rejects Massive Saudi Offer
According to Mundo Deportivo, Rashford recently turned down a staggering £600,000-per-week offer from a Saudi Arabian club, which is double his current salary at Manchester United. The forward is focused on staying in Europe to maintain his international career with the England national team, with a move to Barcelona being his top priority.
Rashford Open to Pay Cut
To facilitate a move to the Catalan club, Rashford has reportedly expressed his willingness to take a pay cut. However, Barcelona’s financial constraints pose a challenge, as the club must offload players to create salary space.
Manchester United’s Stance Adds Complexity
Complicating matters further, Manchester United insists that any club interested in Rashford must cover his full salary, a demand that adds to Barcelona’s difficulties in finalizing the transfer.
With just one week remaining before the transfer window closes, Rashford’s future hangs in the balance. Will Barcelona succeed in landing their primary target, or will the English forward remain at Old Trafford? The coming days will be decisive.
