Since Ruben Amorim took charge at United in November, signs have pointed to Rashford’s time at his boyhood club nearing its conclusion. ..Continue Reading
That impression was all but confirmed a month later when the forward admitted in an interview with journalist Henry Winter that he was considering a new challenge away from Old Trafford.
Now, Rashford seems to have settled on his desired destination ahead of the summer transfer window, and he is even prepared to accept a wage cut to make the move happen.
During the winter transfer window, he was linked with several major European clubs but ultimately opted for a loan spell at Aston Villa until the end of the season.
Despite making a strong impression at Villa Park, a permanent transfer to the Midlands club appears unlikely, with Rashford instead hoping to secure a switch to Barcelona.
According to Mundo Deportivo, Rashford has enlisted the help of experienced football agent Pini Zahavi to facilitate his potential move to the Spanish giants, given Zahavi’s close ties to the club.
Zahavi reportedly maintains a solid relationship with Barcelona president Joan Laporta and also manages both Hansi Flick and Robert Lewandowski.
Barcelona previously expressed interest in a loan deal for Rashford during the winter window, and the player believes Zahavi could act as the key intermediary in securing the transfer this summer.
Reports suggest that a loan deal would be Barcelona’s preferred approach, given Rashford’s existing contract with United, which runs until 2028. However, the winger is willing to lower his wages to smoothen negotiations.
Discussions between Rashford’s camp and Barcelona are said to be in the early stages, with a final decision expected after the season concludes.
