Rashford signed for Barcelona on loan from Manchester United in the summer.

Barcelona have reached a final decision over whether to sign Marcus Rashford on a permanent transfer from Manchester United, according to a new report.

Rashford signed for Barca on loan last summer after being made surplus to requirements under former United manager Ruben Amorim.

The 28-year-old quickly established himself at Camp Nou by scoring a brace against Newcastle in the Champions League, before netting four goals and assisting a further six in his next 11 appearances.

His goalscoring form has tailed off since then, with only one goal since November 5, and he was taken off at half-time during Barca's eventual 2-0 win over fierce rivals Espanyol.

According to Spanish journalist Alfredo Martinez, Barcelona have been suitably convinced by Rashford and intend to sign him permanently this summer.

The England international has a reported €30 million buyout clause as part of his loan contract, which Hansi Flick's side can trigger during the next transfer window.

It is claimed that Rashford's representatives have been told of Barcelona's plans, with talks expected to be held between both parties prior to the end of the season.

In December, Barca boss Flick described the 28-year-old as an 'absolute professional', adding: "His attitude, mentality is great.

"In the beginning, he had to adapt a little bit, but now he's on his best level.

"I speak with the players when they're not playing, explaining why. And what he said to me on the last day was, 'Boss, you don't have to tell me this. It's only about the team. We have to win the three points, nothing else is important'.

"It's the right attitude. The mentality he has is fantastic and I am really happy he is here."

It was widely anticipated that Rashford had played his last game for United upon his departure in July, having been with the club since the age of seven.

He went on to make 428 appearances in all competitions after graduating from the academy, scoring 138 goals.

He had been left out of the squad for the opening months of Amorim's reign last season, with the Portuguese boss blaming his absence on the forward's performances in training.

Rashford subsequently spent the second half of last season on loan at Aston Villa, where he put in a series of impressive displays.

The Sun reported on Tuesday that Rashford is still expected to leave Old Trafford this summer despite Amorim's sacking on Monday.

Barcelona 'Make Decision' on Marcus Rashford Permanent Transfer After Ten Games

The Manchester United loanee has enjoyed his start to life with the La Liga side.

Barcelona have reportedly decided on whether to pursue a potential permanent transfer for Manchester United loanee Marcus Rashford.

Rashford, 27, joined Barcelona on an initial season-long loan from Manchester United during the summer transfer window.

Since then, he has found form under the guidance of Barca boss Hansi Flick and has registered three goals and five assists in just ten appearances, with his first La Liga goal coming in Sunday’s 4-1 defeat against Sevilla.

The one blemish on Rashford’s first couple of months in Spain came when he was late for a training session, which led to him being benched for the subsequent league fixture against Getafe.

Nonetheless, Rashford’s resurgence is there for all to see and has earned him yet another call-up to Thomas Tuchel’s England squad.

But will he make his loan permanent come next summer?

Well, according to the Spanish outlet SPORT, relayed by Tribal, Barcelona are reportedly ready to take up the permanent option in Rashford’s loan, although there is still some debate about a potential fee due to Barca’s financial situation.

Barca can trigger the option for a fee of £26.2million, but Rashford, who is contracted to his parent club until June 2028, will likely have to sacrifice a portion of his current £315,000 per week salary from his deal at United.

Tribal suggests that the hierarchy at Barca will try and negotiate a cut price to bring the Englishman to the club.

A potential move may also be impacted by La Liga’s Financial Fair which states that clubs can only spend on salaries what they match in income.

A report from the Mirror, also claims that United have already agreed to let Barca make the deal permanent for £26m next summer, with the La Liga side supposedly funding all of the player’s wages in return – although this has not been confirmed by Manchester United, Barcelona or the player’s representatives at this stage.

So, what has Rashford said about making his loan permanent?

The 27-year-old has made no secret of his seeming desire to stay in Catalonia and was quoted as saying that he wanted to play for Barca for “as many seasons as possible” in September.

Also, journalist Fabrizio Romano claimed that the club’s board currently feel “very positive” about the England man’s performance and that he’s “not even thinking about a Manchester United return from the loan”.

Rashford will return to Barca duty following the international break, during which England face Wales in a friendly and Latvia in a World Cup qualifier.

Barcelona's Honest Feelings on Marcus Rashford Emerge as They Make Decision on Transfer

Rashford enjoyed a stunning return to England with two goals in Barcelona's Champions League win at Newcastle

Marcus Rashford has already made an impression on loan at Barcelona and the Catalan giants have reportedly made a decision on a permanent transfer.

Manchester United outcast Rashford spent the second half of last season on loan with Premier League rivals Aston Villa and did enough to attract the attention of Barcelona, his preferred destination when he first left Old Trafford on a temporary basis.

The England international forward got his loan move to La Liga in the summer and has continued to impress with the Spanish champions.

Head coach Hansi Flick has started the Red Devils loanee twice in the league and gave him the nod from the beginning of Barcelona's Champions League visit to Newcastle United last week.

According to Rob Dorsett and Lyall Thomas of Sky Sports, Barcelona are responding positively to the 27-year-old's progress.

"Despite still having three years left on his current deal with Manchester United, Rashford currently looks unlikely to have any future at Old Trafford and is focused on making the best impact he can at Barcelona," report Dorsett and Thomas.

"Barca are delighted with the progress of Rashford and are said to be very enthusiastic about how he is settling into the club and the city."

The report comes hot on the heels of Rashford being 'two minutes late' for a recent meeting.

While Barcelona are happy with their loan star, there's no immediate appetite to push for a permanent transfer.

The Catalan club has a reported option to buy at €30m already baked into the loan agreement and it's understood that there's no known difference between Barcelona's valuation of the player and the option to buy clause.

"With his further progress on and off the field and the club's long-term financial parameters still to consider, triggering that option is not something Barcelona are expected to discuss until the end of the campaign," according to Sky Sports.

Rashford's road to redemption

Former Man Utd youth Rashford was bombed out of his boyhood club by head coach Ruben Amorim, whose no-nonsense approach to unwanted players has rubbed more than a few of them up the wrong way since his appointment last autumn.

Rashford's reputation suffered so much from various innuendos about his commitment that he was considered by many observers to be a gamble for Villa in January.

He proved his worth with some excellent match-winning performances under Unai Emery and has continued to win plaudits in a new league in 2025-26.
