Reports indicate that Manchester United's management has no intention of renegotiating the terms for Marcus Rashford's permanent transfer to Barcelona, insisting on the pre-agreed fee in the loan contract. Rashford joined Barcelona on a one-year loan last summer, following a contract renewal with Manchester United in 2023 that extends until the summer of 2028.

Under the current agreement, the Catalan club has an option to make Rashford’s move permanent for a fee reportedly between €30 to €35 million at the end of the season. While there were indications from Barcelona that they might seek to negotiate for a reduced price, sources from ESPN confirm that Manchester United remains firm and expects the full amount if Rashford wishes to remain at Camp Nou.

Despite changes in coaching staff, with the departure of former manager Ruben Amorim and the appointment of Michael Carrick, the situation from the club's perspective has not altered regarding Rashford’s transfer. The ongoing negotiations and financial implications highlight the complexities involved in player transfers, especially for clubs navigating tight budgets during competitive seasons.
