Barcelona aims to secure Rashford permanently and then sell him at a high price! They have scheduled talks with Manchester United about a permanent transfer, viewing it as a win-win deal.

British media reveal that La Liga's Barcelona has arranged with Manchester United to start official talks on Rashford’s permanent move soon, considering it a mutually beneficial agreement. The 28-year-old has already netted 6 goals and assisted 7 times this season, receiving unanimous acclaim at Barcelona.

Rashford is definitely happy to remain at Barcelona; he is prepared to reduce his salary to realize his ambition and wants the club to secure his signature. The English winger is enjoying his time in Spain both on and off the pitch. Barcelona’s German coach Flick is also quite pleased with Rashford’s performances,

Sources say Flick has urged the board to prioritize signing Rashford to a long-term contract because he believes the Manchester United star can be a key part of the team’s future development.

However, Catalan media reveal that Barcelona’s leadership holds a different perspective—they are considering buying Rashford outright and then selling him at a high price to profit from the difference.

Catalan radio claims Barcelona has a €30 million option to buy Rashford. Given his performance this season, Laporta and the management team believe that after signing him, they could resell him for a price far exceeding that figure!

Therefore, Barcelona is expected to enter formal negotiations with Manchester United regarding the transfer in the coming weeks. If the discussions succeed, the permanent deal will benefit all parties. Manchester United will receive a transfer fee, which counts as pure profit since Rashford is a homegrown player. Barcelona will acquire a player capable of making an impact in La Liga at a low cost, making it a profitable move whether they keep or sell him.

Coach Flick’s future may directly influence Rashford’s at Barcelona. The German highly values Rashford, was one of the main advocates for his loan this summer, and supports completing a permanent transfer. However, Spanish newspaper ABC reports that Flick has informed his coaching staff of his intention to resign as Barcelona’s head coach at the end of this season.

It is said that Flick has grown weary of his concern for Barcelona players and the cultural issues he perceives in the locker room. Should Flick leave next summer, his successor might have a different opinion about Rashford, affecting the player’s future. Rashford has experienced varying attitudes from different managers at Manchester United: Van Gaal’s promotion, Mourinho’s strictness, Solskjær’s favoritism, Rangnick’s sidelining, Ten Hag’s mixed feelings, and Amrabat’s complete break.

Rashford himself admits that during his short time at Barcelona, Flick has consistently supported him. “He’s very important; I can feel the confidence he gives me,” Rashford told TNT Sports. “Before coming to Barcelona, I knew he was a top coach, but working with him has been a pleasure. I hope this good relationship continues until the end of the season.”

However, if Barcelona intends to buy Rashford and then sell him, they may first face a major hurdle: the player’s own wishes. Rashford has a “Barça dream” and is unlikely to easily give up his career at Camp Nou. Many players in history have refused to leave Barcelona; Frenkie de Jong, whom Manchester United once tried to sign, is one example. Therefore, if Barcelona buys Rashford, they might ultimately have to keep him on the team.

In any case, British outlet TEAMtalk reports that Barcelona fans strongly support buying Rashford, believing he is a player who fits the club’s development plans.
