Marcus Rashford could stay a long time at Aston Villa. In England, media outlets like 'The Sun' and 'Football Insider' claim that the team led by Unai Emery could soon present a new offer to Manchester United to finalize the permanent transfer of the 27-year-old winger, who was loaned by the 'red devils' to the Birmingham team until the end of the 2024/25 season.
The England international had lost his place in the plans of coach Rubén Amorim and had no choice but to go on loan in the winter market. Rashford wanted to wait until the last moment for an offer from FC Barcelona, but the Catalans did not have enough 'Fair Play' to make signings in January. Not in vain, the registration of Dani Olmo and Pau Víctor was resolved through the precautionary measure granted by the Superior Sports Council (CSD).
The United Hopes to Close a Million-Dollar Sale with Rashford
In this sense, looking ahead to the next market, Barça could say a definitive goodbye to Marcus, a player with ideal characteristics to strengthen the left side of the azulgrana attack, but with a salary too high for the azulgrana budget. The current Aston Villa forward earns around 18 million euros net per year and, although he was willing to lower his salary to come to Catalonia, he ultimately had to settle for signing with Unai Emery's team.
With the 'villains', Rashford has 3 assists in 6 official matches (4 in the Premier League, 2 in the FA Cup). The team is still alive in the cup and Champions League, where they must face Club Brugge in the round of 16. If they advance, the Birmingham team will face Paris Saint-Germain or Liverpool in the quarter-finals. United, for its part, will face Real Sociedad in the round of 16 of the Europa League and Fulham in the fifth round of the FA Cup. In the league, the 'red devils' are fourteenth and hope that Marcus continues to perform at his best to be able to receive an amount close to 50 million euros for his transfer.
