Rumors of Marcus Rashford (27), who was revived in Aston Villa, being transferred to Barcelona have reignited.

Spain's 'Mundo Deprotivo' reported on the 17th (Korea time) that Rashford is willing to accept a weekly cut to move to Barcelona. Spain's 'Sports' reported on the 18th that Barcelona is looking to recruit from Manchester United on a loan that includes a full recruitment option.

Manchester United one-club man Rashford was loaned to Aston Villa in February. The lease period is until this season. Rashford's contract includes a full recruitment option for 40 million pounds (about 74 billion won).




However, Aston Villa do not have priority. Any team can sign Rashford for £40m.

Rashford was United's sign. He made a connection with Manchester United at the age of seven. He has established himself as a savior for Manchester United with 17 goals and 5 assists in 35 games in the English Premier League (EPL) in the 2022-2023 season, former coach Erik ten Hag's first season.

However, the form of the 2023-2024 season has fallen sharply. He only scored seven goals and had two assists in 33 matches in the EPL. He has four goals and one assist in 15 EPL games this season. However, concerns continued to be raised in the private life of not being able to focus on soccer.

Coach Ruben Amorim crossed a bridge that he could not return after taking the helm in November last year. Rashford disappeared from the 16th round of the EPL against Manchester City on December 16 last year.

Rashford, in his 10th season at United, had no choice. Aston Villa agreed to pay 75% of Rashford's £325,000 per week (about KRW 602.7 million) and signed a lease.

It was 'Honey-in'. Rashford made 18 appearances on loan, scoring four goals and six assists. In March, it was also re-appointed to the England national team, which was led by Thomas Tuchel. However, he ended the season early due to a hamstring injury.




Aston Villa's final match of this season is against Manchester United on the 26th. However, Rashford is unavailable on loan. He is under contract with Manchester United until June 2028, and must return to his old team after this season.

However, as long as manager Amorim is holding out, it is impossible to accompany Manchester United. Leaving Manchester United again is a given. However, it is possible to rent, but if Rashford sticks to his current weekly salary, it is not easy to completely transfer.

Rashfdo wants a move to a club playing in the European Champions League. Spain's local view is that Barcelona can change the story.

Barcelona also sought to recruit Rashford in the transfer market last winter. However, it did not become a reality. Barcelona reached the top of La Liga and Copa del Rey in the 2024-2025 season.
