When Rashford joined Barcelona on loan from Manchester United, the agreement between the two clubs was clear. Barcelona negotiated a purchase option worth €30 million that could be activated once the campaign ends. Importantly, the clubs also agreed on the financial framework of the player's potential contract, meaning there would be no need for fresh negotiations later.
Barcelona have made it clear that they want Rashford to stay but there are a series of obstacles to overcome if that is to happen. The club are said to be making progress on personal terms with Rashford, with the England international expected to have to agree to a hefty pay cut if he is to stay on.
