Barcelona must make a prompt and decisive move regarding the potential signing of Marcus Rashford. The Manchester United forward has reportedly sent a clear message that he will not wait indefinitely for the Catalan club to finalize a deal.
Rashford has emerged as a renewed target for Barcelona following their unsuccessful attempt to secure Nico Williams from Athletic Bilbao. However, the England international is not the only name under consideration, with Liverpool’s Luis Díaz also reportedly on the club’s radar.
According to an exclusive report from Cadena SER, Rashford has issued an ultimatum to Barcelona through his representatives. He has asked the club to clarify their intentions swiftly or risk losing out, as he is prepared to explore more concrete offers from other top European sides.
Discussions between Rashford’s camp and Barcelona have reportedly resumed in recent weeks. While his primary desire remains a move to Camp Nou, the 26 year old is unwilling to allow negotiations to drag on, particularly with serious interest coming from clubs like Bayern Munich.
If Barcelona fail to act decisively, Rashford is said to be open to accepting offers from clubs that present a more immediate and realistic opportunity.
The same report adds that Rashford has expressed a willingness to make personal sacrifices to facilitate the move, including a significant reduction in wages. He currently earns around £320,000 per week at Manchester United—figures Barcelona cannot realistically match given their ongoing financial challenges.
By demonstrating this level of commitment, Rashford hopes Barcelona will accelerate the negotiation process and complete the transfer in the near future.
