Man United refuse to budge on Rashford price
According to ESPN, Manchester United have no intention of renegotiating the previously agreed terms that would allow Marcus Rashford to join Barcelona permanently.
The Premier League club expect the full £26 million fee to be paid if the Spanish side want to secure the England international beyond his current spell in Spain. Transfer account DeadlineDayLive first amplified the report on social media, but ESPN is cited as the original source of the information.
United make their position clear
Manchester United’s stance is described as firm and final. The club are not prepared to lower the valuation or adjust the structure of the deal.
That leaves Barcelona with a straightforward choice: meet the agreed figure or walk away. Rashford, 28, has strengthened his case with consistent performances since arriving in La Liga.

He has contributed to 23 goals in 34 appearances for Barcelona across all competitions, underlining his impact in the attacking third.
Barcelona weigh financial call
Rashford’s form has reignited discussion about his long term future, particularly after an uneven period at Old Trafford before the move.
Barcelona must now assess whether his output justifies the £26 million investment, especially given the club’s well documented financial constraints in recent seasons.
Manchester United, for their part, are understood to be comfortable with the situation. The club believe the fee reflects Rashford’s experience, commercial value, and current level of performance.
