Rashford talks with Barcelona insider and Man United sacrifice as time runs out

Barcelona may miss the £26 million option as Rashford weighs a pay cut and Bayern Munich and Arsenal monitor the deal.

  • With the June 15 deadline approaching, Barcelona hesitates to trigger the £26m permanent transfer option for Marcus Rashford, unwilling to meet Manchester United's asking price for the England international.
  • Barcelona recently signed Newcastle United winger Anthony Gordon, placing Rashford's future in doubt despite the 28-year-old's strong loan season of 14 goals and 14 assists across all competitions.
  • Rashford has agreed to halve his £325,000-a-week wage to remain with the Catalan club, but Barcelona is reportedly shifting focus toward signing a striker instead of making the arrangement permanent.
  • Manchester United demands a £34.5million fee and has rejected Barcelona's attempts to negotiate a lower price or another loan deal, while Bayern Munich has emerged as a potential suitor.
  • Before the June 15 deadline, United must decide whether to soften their stance; Bayern Munich's interest could intensify should they offload Michael Olise to Real Madrid.
