Spain's prestigious Barcelona has reemerged. Citing European transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano, Britain's `The Sun' reported on the 28th (Korea time) that `Rashford's side has begun new negotiations for a transfer to Barcelona this summer.'
Barcelona weighed Rashford's recruitment in the winter transfer market in January this year. However, it did not become a reality. Rashford has been loaned to Aston Villa, with the contract terminating on 30 June.
United have already set a fee for Rashford. It can be recruited by paying 40 million pounds (about 74 billion won). However, there are variables. Rashford is one of four on the Barcelona striker list.
According to Spain's 'Sport', the number one target is Liverpool's Colombian winger Luis Diaz. However, local media analyzed that Diaz's transfer fee is more expensive than Rashford's and is less likely to be successful.

Barcelona will win La Liga this season and take the UCL stage again. However, Rashford is likely to have to take a significant weekly cut to join Barcelona.
Rashford is receiving £325,000 a week (about KRW 601.9 million) from Manchester United. Barcelona, which is always in financial crisis, cannot afford it.
Rashford was the face of United. He made a connection with Manchester United at the age of seven. He made his first team debut in February 2016 when he was 18 years old. However, after his 10th season, he took a different path.
Rashford has established himself as Manchester United's savior, scoring 17 goals and five assists in 35 EPL games 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.

Aston Villa have agreed to pay 75 per cent of Rashford's weekly salary and have signed a loan deal. 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.
Rashford is under contract with Manchester United until June 2028. As long as Amorim is holding out, it is virtually impossible to accompany Manchester United. Barcelona is also expected to negotiate with Manchester United on loan terms that include a full recruitment option.
