Barcelona Looking to Retain Rashford

Barcelona are set to open negotiations with Manchester United over the future of Marcus Rashford, having been impressed by the England international’s performances so far at Camp Nou.

The Catalan club are keen to keep Rashford for the 2026/27 season. According to Spanish outlet AS, the forward — who has scored seven goals and provided 11 assists in 26 appearances this season — has convinced Barcelona’s decision-makers and has received the green light from head coach Hansi Flick to remain with the club.

Rashford’s potential stay could have a direct impact on the future of Ansu Fati, who has lost his place at Monaco, making a return to Camp Nou increasingly complicated. As for Rashford, the forward is happy in Barcelona, has shown a positive attitude even when not starting matches, and is open to extending his stay with the Catalan club — either through a permanent transfer or another loan spell.
