The Spanish newspaper "Sport" reported that Barcelona's sporting director, Deco, held a meeting with the agent of English striker Marcus Rashford in the city of Jeddah during the team's tour in Saudi Arabia, to get the latest updates on the player and to reaffirm the club's positive impressions of him.

The report indicated that Barcelona is completely satisfied with Rashford's performance since his arrival, as he quickly integrated with the team and his impact was evident on his teammates, especially the English-speaking and younger players, which enhances the chances of the player continuing with the team.

The newspaper confirmed that Barcelona is considering activating the option to buy Rashford from Manchester United for 30 million euros, emphasizing that the final decision has not yet been made and that the club is weighing both the economic value and the sporting aspect before making a conclusion.

On the other hand, Rashford made an immediate impact since joining the team, scoring 9 goals and providing 7 assists. The coaching staff, led by Hans Flick, praised his ability to play in multiple positions, whether as a central striker or a left winger, making him an important addition to the team, especially given the multiple injuries this season.

The report clarified that the player's future will be determined later based on the club's assessment of the economic and sporting aspects for the upcoming season, with close monitoring by Barcelona of this process, which could impact the team's future attacking plans.
