Barcelona are closing in on a permanent transfer for England Forward Marcus Rashford, with the Spanish giants set to activate the €30 million buy option in his loan deal from Manchester United.
The decision would see Rashford commit his future to the Catalan club by signing a three-year contract, ending months of speculation over his long-term plans.
Since arriving at the Camp Nou on loan at the start of the season, the 28-year-old has quickly become a key figure in Barcelona’s setup. His pace, flexibility across the front line and sharp eye for goal have given the team extra bite in attack, making him a fan favourite and a trusted option for the coaching staff.
Rashford has enjoyed an impressive campaign, recording 23 goal contributions in 33 appearances across all competitions. His influence has been felt most in big moments, with several crucial performances helping Barcelona stay competitive both domestically and in Europe.
Sources close to the club say talks are already at an advanced stage, as Barcelona hope to wrap up the deal ahead of the summer transfer window.
Having spent the bulk of his career at Manchester United before his loan switch, a permanent move to Barcelona would mark a major new chapter for Rashford and a chance to further cement his reputation on the European stage. The forward also previously had a spell with Premier League side Aston Villa before heading to Spain.
