Manchester United ‘annoyed’ by Barcelona’s attempts to reduce Rashford transfer fee

Given the numbers Marcus Rashford has produced for Barcelona, it seemed certain beyond doubt that the club would make his signing permanent in June.

After all, the purchase clause on the player is set at just €30 million, and it is completely in their hands to make his move permanent.

In recent weeks, however, doubts have grown once again, and it is suddenly unclear if Barcelona still value the player enough to sign him permanently.

A second loan has been spoken of instead, especially given the club’s financial situation and the player’s waning importance.

Irritation in Manchester

As reported by Samuel Luckhurst, Manchester United are annoyed by Barcelona’s attempts to lowball them in the negotiations for Rashford.

They see the €30 million price tag to be a bargain and do not understand why the club are continually pushing for a second loan or a reduction in the agreed fee.
