‘Dwindling by the day’: Club ready to tear up contract of €30m deal with United unless breakthrough is reached

They have made it clear to the Catalan giants behind the scenes that unless they pay the sum in full by June, they will welcome Rashford back to the squad and try to find an alternative buyer.

Failing that, there is an option he revives his Old Trafford career next season, albeit that’s the least likely option as things stand.

How Rashford is faring at Camp Nou

In truth, for the campaign he’s had, £26m is actually on the lower end of what Rashford could be worth right now.

The 28-year-old has returned an impressive 12 goals and 13 assists in  2,303 minutes of action.

Presumably, the reason Barcelona are unwilling to activate their buy clause is that he is not a guaranteed starter under Hansi Flick; of the 43 appearances Rashford has made across all competitions thus far, only 23 have been from the off.

In the meantime, it’s thought the Carrington graduate does hope to stay with the Blaugrana beyond the transfer window, but he would be open to playing for his boyhood club again.
