Barcelona agree terms with Manchester United forward for loan deal
Yesterday at 02:45 PM
Barcelona have made the their attack the priority position to reinforce in the January transfer window, and Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford their priority target. However several things must fall into place for the operation to be consummated.
According to Sport, Barcelona have reached an agreement with Marcus Rashford for the player to join on loan for the second half of the season. They say that Rashford is set on playing for Barcelona, and will wait until the final stages of the transfer market to try and do so, despite interest from Borussia Dortmund in doing a similar deal.
The reason for the delay is once again Barcelona's salary limit. The Blaugrana need to free up space in their salary limit in order to absorb Rashford's wages for the second half of the season, despite returning to the '1:1 rule'. The total amount Barcelona must cover is €9m, half of his annual wages, although it is noted that this could be reduced if Barcelona reach a compromise with Manchester United.
Barcelona were hoping that Aston Villa's interest in Oscar Mingueza, for whom they will receive 50% of his transfer fee, could return €10m for them, sufficient to bring in Rashford. However with their signing of Andres Garcia from Levante makes that unlikely now.
