Barcelona closing in on Rashford loan
  Bangla Press Desk:  Barcelona are moving closer to signing Marcus Rashford from Manchester United, with negotiations entering the final stages, according to The Athletic. The Catalan club have tabled a proposal via intermediaries to take Rashford on a season-long loan with an option to buy. United have agreed in principle to the structure of the deal, though it is yet to be finalised. Barcelona, under new head coach Hansi Flick, have been searching for a versatile attacker who can operate both on the wing and through the middle. The left-wing position was flagged as a priority after the squad struggled for depth in that area towards the end of last season. Flick has reportedly spoken to the 27-year-old England international and approved the move. Taking Rashford on loan would also ease Barcelona’s ongoing financial strain, with a permanent transfer currently considered unfeasible.
Rashford spent the second half of the 2024-25 campaign on loan at Aston Villa, where he scored four goals in 17 appearances under Unai Emery. His season, however, was cut short by a hamstring injury in April, forcing him to miss Villa’s final four league matches. He was subsequently omitted from Thomas Tuchel’s England squad for the upcoming fixtures against Andorra and Senegal. Rashford remains one of Manchester United’s highest earners, commanding a salary of over £325,000 ($436,000) per week. During his Villa loan spell, the Midland’s club covered roughly 75 percent of his wages, along with performance-related bonuses. This article was originally published on Daily Sun.
