Barcelona, Manchester United discuss Marcus Rashford loan deal

Marcus Rashford's potential move to Barcelona is complicated by the club's financial struggles and his high salary, reported to be around £325,000 per week. Barcelona is interested in signing the Manchester United forward on loan but can only afford to cover up to 50% of his wages, pending player departures to free up salary space. Rashford has been excluded from Manchester United's squad under manager Ruben Amorim, with reports indicating that he is eager to leave for Barcelona, his preferred destination. However, with limited time left before the transfer deadline and no clear resolution on player exits at Barcelona, the likelihood of the deal being finalized remains uncertain. Other clubs, including Juventus, may be positioning themselves as late contenders for Rashford's signature should the Barcelona deal falter. Ultimately, Rashford's future hinges on negotiations that will need to resolve the financial constraints faced by both clubs.
