Sky Sports reported that Barcelona has decided to postpone discussions about the possibility of permanently signing English star Marcus Rashford until the end of the current season, despite being very pleased with the level the player has shown since joining on loan from Manchester United.

The network clarified that Barcelona is impressed with Rashford's quick adaptation to the team and the city, in addition to his rapport with the players, coaching staff, and fans, despite facing a disciplinary penalty from coach Hans Flick for being two minutes late to a team meeting.

On the technical level, the 27-year-old Rashford has continued to shine, scoring two goals and assisting two others in his last three matches, which reinforces his status as one of the key players in Barcelona's lineup.

However, according to the report, the option to buy included in the loan agreement for £26.2 million will not be discussed until the end of the season, given Barcelona's financial commitments and spending cap restrictions in La Liga.

The Catalan club is also considering the future of Polish striker Robert Lewandowski, who is 37 years old and whose contract with the team ends at the end of the current season, as Rashford could play an important role as a central striker if Lewandowski's contract is not renewed.

Despite the financial challenges related to his high salary, Rashford recently confirmed his desire to stay with Barcelona for as long as possible, emphasizing that he is currently focused on giving his best and helping the team achieve its goals this season.
