Barcelona unlikely to trigger Rashford permanent transfer option

Barcelona may pass on the €30 million option to make Marcus Rashford’s loan permanent, leaving the decision to Hansi Flick as the deadline looms. The club had eyed Rashford to bolster its back line but questioned the price tag and tactical fit.

Flick is reviewing the English striker’s Premier League form and how he would adapt to Barcelona’s possession‑based system. If the clause is not exercised, Rashford will return to Manchester United at season’s end.

Barcelona will now focus on other attacking targets for the upcoming campaign.
