MANCHESTER UNITED have told Barcelona to forget about trying to land Marcus Rashford on the cheap.
The England ace is but has impressed since moving to the Nou Camp on loan last summer.
Manchester United won’t sell Marcus Rashford on the cheap to Barcelona
Barcelona will have to splash £26m to make Rashford’s loan move from Man Utd permanent
Barca have a £26million option to make the move permanent at the end of the season – which was agreed in July last year.
And his 10 goals as well as 13 assists in 34 appearances have convinced that they want the forward there on a full-time basis.
However the financial worries of the Catalan giants are well known and they hope to drive down the figure previously agreed.
are unwilling to budge, though, and believe the fee is already a reasonable one for a 28-year-old full international.
The club are surprised by stories coming from Spain that they are willing to negotiate a lower fee as this is not the case.
Selling will save United around £315,000 a week in wages – with other top earners such as Casemiro and Jadon Sancho also set to go.
That should give them more room to manoeuvre in the summer transfer market.
Man Utd are and possibly a new forward.
Rashford is under contract at United until 2028 and a permanent sale remains probable this summer.
Rashford has not played for United since December 2024 and lost his No10 squad number to under former manager Ruben Amorim.
Amorim ordered the England international and other out-of-favour team-mates to arrive for training at a in pre-season before the forward joined Barcelona in late July.
