According to a report by "Daily Sports" on May 3, Rashford hopes to stay at Barcelona. Although his performance this season has been up and down, there are still doubts within Barcelona about whether to pay a buyout fee of 30 million euros to Manchester United, especially given the current high salary situation of the players.
However, Rashford did not give up the idea of staying and showed a high level of mental toughness. After Yamal was injured, he seemed to have a chance to become the main player, but the young Baldeji had an advantage in the competition. Even so, Rashford's performance after coming off the bench in the last two games has been excellent. He first scored against Getafe, and then provided a key assist for Lewandowski against Osasuna.
Judging from the current situation so far this season, Rashford has brought 13 goals and 14 assists to the team representing Barcelona. Such data is quite impressive. However, considering his reputation and resume as a top European star, the outside world also believes that he could have shown decisive performance in more games.
The contract signed by Rashford with Manchester United will not expire until 2028. Manchester United is also thinking about how to deal with his future development; on the one hand, the 28-year-old Rashford still has room for continuous improvement; on the other hand, Manchester United also believes that he is a key asset in exchange for funds during the team's reconstruction process.
Carrick has led Manchester United back on track, and the team is about to return to the Champions League, so the club has a number of decisions to make, one of which is Rashford's future.
It is clear that the player himself wants to stay in Barcelona and has adapted to the club and the city. When talking about the assist he sent to Lewandowski after the game, Rashford declared: "I arrived here to win the championship with Barcelona, and I am making continuous progress towards that goal.".
From Rashford's perspective, the importance of this La Liga-related championship trophy cannot be underestimated. However, as to whether it can be used to allow Barcelona to pay a buyout fee of 30 million euros, this matter still needs to wait for follow-up and continuous observation before we can have a definite result.
Flick has praised the talent of the England striker many times before, and Rashford will also go with England to participate in the World Cup during that period in 2026.
Moreover, the winger market is not very rich in options. Due to Rafinha's injury, Barcelona also realized that there is still a need to strengthen this position. Although there are some good players in the youth training system, if Barcelona hopes to create a lineup that can compete for all championships, the team still has to think about recruiting reinforcements or choose to keep Rashford.
The report finally talked about this situation. Rashford, after the adaptation work is completed, may usher in a truly stable and explosive performance in the second season. However, Barcelona has to weigh it carefully. The weighing content is whether to risk 30 million euros to buy him out, or to enter the transfer market to find a replacement.
