Man United slam the door on Barcelona’s Rashford bid as £26m price tag stands firm

Barcelona have made it crystal clear to : there will be no discount on this summer.

The England forward is spending the season on loan in Spain, where Barca hold an option to sign him permanently for £26 million. But amid rumours of a cut-price deal, United insiders are baffled — insisting the figure is non-negotiable and must be paid in full.

Offloading Rashford would also slash United’s wage bill, a move the club believes could unlock major savings ahead of a busy transfer window.

And on the pitch, Rashford has given Barcelona plenty to think about. The attacker has caught the eye at the Spotify Camp Nou, racking up 10 goals and 13 assists in 34 games, proving he can still deliver on the big stage.

His Old Trafford chapter, however, appears closed. Rashford has not featured for United since December 2024 and even lost his iconic No.10 shirt to during the reign of former boss .

Amorim once sent a brutal message about his attitude, saying he would rather name his 63-year-old goalkeeping coach on the bench than pick a player who did not give full commitment — a remark widely seen as aimed at Rashford.

Before landing in Spain with ’s side, Rashford had endured a difficult spell, spending the second half of last season on loan at and even being forced to train separately from United’s first team in the summer.

Now, with Barcelona circling and United standing their ground, the message is blunt:
Pay £26m — or walk away.
