Marcus Rashford is “ready” to return to Manchester United for preseason training after Barcelona’s attempts to low-ball the Premier League side into a cut-price agreement have fallen flat, multiple reports claim.
Rashford’s Barcelona future has been up in the air for months. Ever since club president Joan Laporta floated the prospect of renegotiating the terms of his buyout clause—which is thought to stand at an affordable $34.9 million (£25.9 million, €30 million)—the mood music around the England international has sounded distinctly like a farewell send-off.
Despite his obvious desire to remain at the Spanish champions, Rashford himself has openly admitted that his future may lie elsewhere. Remarkably, his immediate destination may prove to be a familiar one, as The Times have revealed that the United academy graduate is “resigned” to joining up with the Red Devils for preseason.
That stance has been supposedly set by the paltry nature of Barcelona’s latest counter-offer to United.
The Catalans are expected to only offer half of the $34.9 million buyout clause in Rashford’s loan deal. United, unsurprisingly, are not thought to have any intention of accepting such a proposal, rightly confident that they can get more than $17.5 million for a 28-year-old title-winner who could very well shine for one of the favorites at the upcoming World Cup.
Plenty lies ahead for Rashford between now and that potential switch.
