The key factor keeping Marcus Rashford away from Barça

Marcus Rashford has limited time left at Manchester United. The British club has decided to part ways with their academy graduate next summer as part of the squad revolution they are planning alongside Rúben Amorim, and they would be willing to listen to offers starting from a figure close to 40 million euros, a 'bargain' price for a player who, at 27 years old, has proven to be a top-level forward.

This scenario sparked rumors about the possible arrival of the player at FC Barcelona, where they hope to sign a left winger during the 2025 transfer market. However, 'Sky Sports' has reported that the Catalans do not see him as a viable option due to his high salary, which is reportedly set at around 16 million euros net per season.

Possible destinations for Rashford

In this regard, sources from England suggest that, in order to have the final say on his future, Rashford will need to make a financial sacrifice, as his salary makes his signing unfeasible for many clubs. In fact, as of today, Saudi Arabia and Paris Saint-Germain would be the only viable destinations for the forward, being the only avenues that could afford his operation.

With a contract until 2028, Marcus and his entourage are already making moves to find a new horizon for the upcoming season. Several teams are already aware of his situation, but his earnings represent a difficult obstacle to overcome for what is expected to be one of the biggest 'soap operas' of the next summer window.
