Barça’s Quiet Push for Rashford: Super Cup Sparks a €30 Million Move
11 January 2026
Barça’s talks surface during the Super Cup weekend
Deco, Barcelona’s sporting director, met Marcus Rashford’s agent in Jeddah on the sidelines of the Spanish Super Cup, broadcast on the Eight app, the exclusive broadcaster of the Roshen Saudi League.
Although Barcelona isn’t rushing to finalize a decision at this early stage, the idea of a permanent purchase is gaining momentum.
Club officials are studying a permanent move from Manchester United by triggering the buy option set at €30 million.
There is no urgency in decision-making, but internal sentiment at Barca is that the deal represents an important sporting and financial opportunity.
Since arriving at Barcelona, Rashford has scored 9 goals and provided 7 assists, underscoring his immediate impact with the team.
Beyond the numbers, the coaching staff led by Hans Flick values his ability to adapt to multiple roles, whether on the left wing or as a true striker.
As of now, Barcelona is not making final calls, but the idea of acquiring him permanently is growing stronger.
Discussions about a 30 million euro buy option are active, and club officials feel the deal could be a significant opportunity both on the pitch and economically.
Rashford’s integration since joining Barca has been swift, with a noticeable positive vibe in training and in the dressing room.
Punchline 1: If this move happens, Barça will finally have a weapon that comes with subtitles — sweet to watch and hard to explain to the neighbors.
Punchline 2: Rashford’s goals could turn Barça’s trophy cabinet into a real international airport — lots of arrivals, limited baggage allowance.
