clause in their loan deal for Marcus Rashford before selling on the Man Utd player for a higher fee, according to reports.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.football365.com\/tag\/marcus-rashford\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Rashford<\/a> spent the final six months of the 2024\/25 season on loan at Aston Villa after falling out with then manager Ruben Amorim, who was sacked by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.football365.com\/manchester-united\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Man Utd<\/a> last month.<\/p>\n<p>With no immediate future at Old Trafford, Man Utd sent him out on loan this season to La Liga giants Barcelona, who have a \u00a326m (\u20ac30m) option to make the deal permanent.<\/p>\n<p>Rashford has been in decent form for the Catalan giants this season, although he has spent quite a bit of time out of the starting XI with nine goals and nine assists in 31 appearances in all competitions.<\/p>\n<p>There have been rumours in recent days that Barcelona are struggling to afford the fee and salary for the England international and have been attempting to renegotiate the \u20ac30m buyout clause ahead of the summer.<\/p>\n<p>Barcelona seem to want to keep Rashford but only on the right terms <a href=\"https:\/\/www.football365.com\/news\/man-utd-regret-rashford-deal-barcelona-value-closer-50m-fear-return-likely\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"

Barcelona must decide whether to accept\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>The Catalan giants original \u2018plan is to request another loan\u2019 for Rashford but Man Utd \u2018have already made it clear that they will only consider transfer offers\u2019 for the 28-year-old.<\/p>\n<p>With Man Utd refusing to renegotiate the terms, Barcelona \u2018have begun to consider the idea of \u200b\u200bsigning Rashford, with the intention of selling him for a higher price, taking advantage of the interest shown by other clubs\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>It is understood that \u2018there are some suitors who could be willing to offer as much as \u20ac60m (\u00a352m)\u2019 and Barcelona \u2018would obtain a significant profit\u2019 if they could quickly sell him on.<\/p>\n<p>MORE ON MAN UTD ON F365<br \/>*\u00a0<a
