The Spanish newspaper "Sport" explained that German coach Hans Flick is keen to keep English winger Marcus Rashford at Barcelona due to his complete satisfaction with Rashford's performance, statistics, and level of professionalism. Meanwhile, the sports management is working on exploring financial options to secure his continued stay.

Rashford is a personal recommendation from Flick, who had been interested in signing him since his time coaching Bayern Munich. Flick expressed his happiness at the opportunity to bring him in on loan last January, but salary restrictions prevented the deal from going through. The newspaper confirmed that Flick has continued to endorse the player and has made efforts to bring him in after other options, such as Luis Díaz and Nico Williams, fell through.

Rashford is known for his physical strength and high talent. He can play as a winger or a central striker and has quickly adapted to Barcelona's style of play. So far, he has participated in 24 matches, scoring 7 goals and providing 11 assists, making him a key factor in several important victories this season.

The report indicated that Rashford's continuation depends on Barcelona's ability to afford the €40 million purchase option in addition to his high salary, given Manchester United's desire to receive the full amount and let go of the player, who is under contract until 2028 and whose value has increased following his impressive performances at Camp Nou.

The newspaper confirmed that the player is willing to discuss his salary to facilitate his continued stay, while the two clubs may agree on the terms of the deal, whether through a new loan or a reduction in the purchase price, in a way that serves Barcelona's interests and ensures Rashford remains with the team.
