It was revealed that Manchester United is ready to sell Rashford for 35 million! He has negotiated a salary cut with Barcelona and asked for help from a super agent

Manchester United are reportedly ready to sell Marcus Rashford for €35 million (£30 million), who has already begun personal talks with La Liga's Barca. In order to realize his dream at Camp Nou, the 27-year-old is willing to take a pay cut, and he is willing to make any sacrifice as long as he can join.

According to Sky Sports, Marcus Rashford has already expressed his desire to play for Barcelona and has already begun negotiations with the La Liga club over personal terms.

He earns a whopping £325,000 a week at Manchester United, with the team taking 70 per cent of the salary when he was on loan at Aston Villa. But for Barcelona, who have been stuck in the La Liga salary cap, this is an unaffordable amount, so Manchester United has agreed to significantly reduce the salary requirements.

According to British media, Rashford is seeking the help of super agent Pini Zahavi and hopes to work with him to complete the transfer. Rashford's agents are his two older brothers, but they don't have very good transfer skills other than PR, so they have to turn to professionals.

Zahavi, who has been on a par with Jorge Mendes in the past, has a huge influence at Barça, with the club's president Juan Laporta fully trusting him to run the transfer of Robert Lewandowski in 2022, with Barca boss Hans Flick also being represented. According to Daily Sport, Zahavi, along with his right-hand man, Brazilian Humberto Paiwa, has signed an agreement to work exclusively for Barca. So, Rashford chose to ask him for help.

At club level, the Red Devils are ready to sell the academy-trained player for €35 million, possibly with some floating clauses attached to boost the potential transfer fee. Manchester United have made it clear that the England winger has been excluded from the first-team programme following manager Ruben Amorim falling out with Marcus Rashford, and that Rashford will not be able to return to the club unless Sir Jim Ratcliffe changes manager. Arsenal, Inter Milan and other giants have also been rumored with them recently.

And while Rashford has been in fine form for Villa, scoring four goals and providing six assists, the club is likely to miss out on Champions League qualification and will not be able to retain him at the end of the season. Villa have a £40million clause to buy Rashford, but Marco Asensio from Paris Saint-Germain is more valuable if given the choice.

According to rumours, Rashford's chances of staying at Villa Park have plummeted after being reimbursed early for the season. Villa are rumoured to be scouting FC Porto's Spanish striker Samu Omorodion, who has scored 24 goals in 40 games this season, including a brace against Manchester United in the Europa League.

Whether Barcelona are serious about Rashford is also unclear. Flick has two main wingers, Yamal and Raphinha, both of whom are far ahead of Marcus Rashford. If on the front line, the veteran Lewandowski's scoring and fulcrum ability is also incomparable to Manchester United's demon star, and he is even inferior to Ferran Torres!

In addition, Barcelona are facing financial difficulties and the club may prefer to continue to promote and develop La Masia's academy players rather than spend money on a player who has been controversial at Manchester United and England in the past, and who may not be in the starting line-up.

Manchester United don't care where Rashford wants to go, as long as he can make money, bring in the desired profits, and let the club balance the balance of payments, he will not have a problem joining anywhere. A graduate of Manchester United's academy, the sale of Marcus Rashford will bring in net profits under the Premier League's PSR profitability and sustainability rules, which will help Amorim buy a rebuild.

Removing Rashford's huge contract from the payroll would also significantly reduce United's financial burden, which equates to close to £17 million a year.
