Marcus Rashford’s loan at Barcelona has coincided with a La Liga title win, and Real Madrid may now consider a move. Jose Mourinho is reported to be interested in signing Rashford if he completes an expected return to the Bernabeu, potentially replacing Alvaro Arbeloa after a disappointing season. Mourinho’s agent is said to be in contact with Real Madrid, though no formal offer has been made. Rashford’s situation is complicated by Barcelona’s loan arrangement, including an option to buy for around 30 million, with reports suggesting Barcelona may renegotiate rather than trigger the clause immediately. A move could strengthen Madrid while disrupting Barcelona’s plans, and Rashford has already delivered decisive moments against Real Madrid, including a free-kick in El Clasico. Manchester United want a financial solution because Rashford remains on high wages under contract until 2028.
"Jose Mourinho is interested in signing Rashford if he completes his expected return to Real Madrid, according to Sport. Mourinho's comeback to the Bernabeu has not been officially announced by the club, but the expectation around Spain is that he is set to replace Alvaro Arbeloa after Madrid's disappointing season. Reuters reported that Mourinho has confirmed his agent is in contact with Real Madrid, although he said there was no formal offer at that stage."
"Rashford's situation is complicated because Barcelona still have a big say. He joined the Catalan club on loan from Man United, and there is an option to buy him permanently. Reports have put that buy option at around 30 million, although some sources have claimed Barcelona are trying to renegotiate the structure rather than simply trigger the clause straight away. That hesitation could open the door for Real Madrid."
"If Mourinho really wants Rashford, he may see this as a rare chance to create a double blow: strengthen Madrid while also hurting Barcelona's plans. Rashford has done enough in Spain to make the move believable too. The most dramatic moment of Rashford's Barcelona spell came in El Clasico. He scored a free-kick in a 2-0 win over Real Madrid that sealed Barcelona's 29th La Liga title, which makes the idea of him joining Madrid even spicier."
"From Man United's side, the situation may be fairly simple. Rashford is under contract until 2028 and remains on huge wages, so United will want a clear financial solution rather than another me"
