Manchester United Striker, Rashford 'Agreed' To Join Barcelona? - Details

Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford is reportedly wanted by Barcelona, and he’s already agreed to join them once.

Infoexpert24 reports that Rashford is out of contract at the end of the season and talks have not yet begun on a new deal just yet, despite the English professional footballer starting regularly under Erik ten Hag this season.

Cristiano Ronaldo’s contract is also set to expire next summer and is perhaps the more talked-about deal at Old Trafford right now. Two-goal hero from the weekend, Anthony Martial will see his terms end in 2024.

Barcelona is keen on bringing Rashford to the Camp Nou when his deal ends, with Xavi said to be a fan of the player.

The 24-year-old can play across the frontline, specializing on the left wing but playing regularly on the right for former manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. Ten Hag has favored Rashford centrally, with fellow England World Cup hopeful Jadon Sancho used predominantly on the left ahead of Luke Shaw.

And Barça has reason to believe that Rashford would be open to the deal. According to Mundo Deportivo, Rashford has already agreed a deal with Barcelona once before(opens in new tab), in 2018.

If anything, it may be easier to re-agree another deal. Barca is slightly more flushed with cash after pulling various economic levers during the summer, while Rashford might have reduced demands having fallen out of favor in the England set-up and being keen to reignite his career.

This deal has a long way to go, however. It seems unlikely that United will want to surrender such a prized asset without at least opening talks on a new deal.
