The report from Sport indicates that Barcelona have secured a permanent move for Rashford, but the deal hinges on the forward accepting a reduced salary to join the Spanish club. If the permanent transfer proceeds, Rashford's final appearance for Manchester United would have been in December 2024 against Viktoria Plzen in the Europa League, marking his 426th game for the club. It remains unclear whether Barcelona has officially triggered the permanent transfer option, the exact terms of the salary adjustment, or if Manchester United will receive the reported £26 million fee.
No official confirmation has been provided by either Barcelona or Manchester United regarding the agreement.
