Marcus Rashfordova budućnost postala je jedna od tema u ovom prijelaznom roku, sa engleskim reprezentativcem koji je brzo osvojio Barcelonu od svojeg dolaska na pozajmicu iz Manchester Uniteda. Svi pokazatelji upućuju na to da Rashford odlučno želi ostati na Camp Nou, dok Barcelona sve više vjeruje da bi trebao ostati u La Ligi na stalnoj osnovi, izvori bliski industriji menadžera su obavijestili CaughtOffside. Rashfordove predstave, profesionalizam i stav su široko pohvaljeni unutar svlačionice Barcelone. Napadač je postigao ključne golove, dodao brzinu i direktan pristup napadu, te pokazao nivo zrelosti koji je čak iznenadio tehničko osoblje kluba. Rashford je postigao sedam golova i pružio 11 asistencija za Barcelonu ove sezone. Njegova spremnost da se prilagodi taktičkim zahtjevima Hansija Flicka i njegov uticaj u ključnim utakmicama su ojačali njegov položaj među navijačima i članovima uprave. Barcelona je dugo vremena patila zbog nedostatka širokog napadača sposobnog da kombinuje atletsku izdržljivost sa visokim kvalitetom i Rashford im je to pružio ove sezone. Sve naznake ukazuju na to da će Barcelona aktivirati svoju opciju za kupovinu, za koju se vjeruje da je dio sporazuma o pozajmici dogovorenog prošlog ljeta. Ključno je da je Rashfordova prioriteta ostati, i izvori bliski igraču insistiraju da nema interes za povratak u Premier Ligu u ovoj fazi. Man United, još uvijek stabilizujući se nakon odlaska Rubena Amorima, ostavili su otvorena vrata za povratak Rashforda. Međutim, igračeva nesklonost povratku na Old Trafford snažno oslabljuje tu opciju. Rashford se osjeća vitalizovano u Španiji, daleko od kontrole i pritiska koje je doživljavao u Engleskoj. Nastavak tranzicijskog perioda Uniteda, nedostatak jasnoće oko dugoročnog menadžera, i nekonzistentna struktura tima na terenu samo su ojačali njegovu želju da nastavi boravak van zemlje. PSG već godinama divlja Rashforda i istražuju moguću zamjenu uključujući Bradley Barcola. Međutim, Rashford ne želi prelazak u Francusku, čineći ovaj scenario vrlo malo vjerovatnim. Atlético Madrid prate razvoj situacije i žele ga spojiti sa Alexanderom Sørlothom, smatrajući Rashfordovu brzinu i direktan stil savršenim za sistemu Diega Simeonea. S obzirom na Rashfordovu formu, njegovu želju da ostane, Barceloninu vjeru u igrača, te interne podrške kako tehničkog osoblja tako i članova kluba, najrealniji scenario ostaje Barcelonino aktiviranje opcije za kupovinu.
Marcus Rashford’s future has become one of the subject of attention in this transfer window, with the England international rapidly winning over Barcelona since his loan move from Manchester United. All indicators suggest that Rashford is determined to remain at Camp Nou, while Barcelona are increasingly convinced he should stay in La Liga on a permanent basis, sources close to the agents industry have informed CaughtOffside. Rashford’s performances, professionalism, and attitude have been widely praised inside the Barcelona dressing room. The forward has delivered crucial goals, added pace and directness to the attack, and demonstrated a level of maturity that has surprised even the club’s technical staff. Rashford has scored seven goals and provided 11 assists for Barcelona this season. His willingness to adapt to Hansi Flick’s tactical demands and his influence in key matches have strengthened his standing among supporters and board members alike. Barcelona have long lacked a wide forward capable of combining athleticism with high quality and Rashford has provided them that this season. All signs point to Barcelona activating their purchase option, which is believed to be part of the loan agreement negotiated last summer. Crucially, Rashford’s priority is to stay, and sources close to the player insist he has no interest in returning to the Premier League at this stage. Man United, still stabilising after Ruben Amorim’s departure, have left the door open to recalling Rashford. However, the player’s reluctance to return to Old Trafford strongly weakens that option. Rashford feels revitalised in Spain, far from the scrutiny and pressure he faced in England. United’s ongoing transitional period, lack of clarity over the long-term manager, and the team’s inconsistent on-pitch structure have only reinforced his desire to continue abroad. PSG have admired Rashford for years and have explored a potential swap deal involving Bradley Barcola. But Rashford does not want a move to France, making this scenario highly unlikely.
Atlético Madrid are monitoring developments and would like to pair him with Alexander Sørloth, viewing Rashford’s pace and direct style as perfect for Diego Simeone’s system. Given Rashford’s form, his desire to stay, Barcelona’s confidence in the player, and the internal backing from both the technical staff and club members, the most realistic scenario remains Barcelona triggering the purchase option.
