Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford is reportedly open to receiving significant pay cuts this summer to encourage travel to Barcelona.
The 27-year-old, now available for rent at Aston Villa, is looking for a fresh start after falling from favor under United manager Reuben Amorim.
Rashford’s current contract with Manchester United will run until 2028, with a weekly wage of around £350,000.
However, due to Barcelona’s financial constraints, it is difficult to accommodate such salaries.
To overcome this hurdle, Rashford is willing to reduce wage demands to join Catalan clubs.
Marcus Rashford likes Barcelona’s moves
Rashford’s preference is the move towards Barcelona, but other clubs, including Aston Villa, have shown interest. However, the player’s commitment to participating in Barcelona remains strong, and he is ready to make financial sacrifices to fulfill this ambition.
Negotiations are underway between Rashford representatives and Barcelona, with discussions focusing on potential loan moves with purchase options.
This allows Barcelona to assess Rashford’s suitability within the team while managing economic risks.
Recently, Barcelona director Deco praised the Man United star who showed he was considering the moves of English attackers.
Rashford has no future for Man United
The move to Barcelona will revive his career and allow him to play with world-class players under a great manager, allowing Rashford to ultimately take the next step in his career.
He is often criticized for his own contradictions and pitch controversy, but the move to Barcelona, away from the Premier League spotlight, helps players focus more on his career without any outside noise.
Former Man United boss Eric Ten Hag described Rashford as “unstopping.”
Meanwhile, Man United is currently working on replacing Rashford with Crystal Palace star Ebeki Eze this summer on the club’s radar.
