Barcelona has settled its stance on the future of English winger Marcus Rashford, after the player gained the full confidence of the sports management and technical staff since joining during the last summer transfer window.

According to the Spanish newspaper 'Sport', the decision within the Catalan club was unanimous to activate the final purchase option in the player's contract.

The Spanish newspaper 'Sport' confirmed that Barcelona will activate the clause to purchase Rashford for 30 million euros, an amount the club's management considers suitable and reasonable given the player's quality and technical output, especially amidst the significant rise in prices for players occupying the same position in the market.

The newspaper explained that Rashford played a crucial role in the success of the deal, having shown a clear desire to continue with Barcelona, in addition to agreeing to adjust his salary to suit the club's financial situation.

It is expected, barring any physical emergencies during the remaining loan period, that the contract will be finalized in June, with the player signing a contract extending for three additional seasons.

The report emphasized that Rashford's performance this season was a decisive factor in making the decision, as he played 33 matches for Barcelona, scoring 10 goals and providing 13 assists, making him one of the most impactful and decisive players on the team, whether as a starter or a substitute.

According to the report, finalizing Rashford's deal will greatly assist Barcelona in planning for the upcoming summer transfer market, as the management will focus on strengthening the center-back and striker positions, having closed the winger position file permanently. The club's management also views Rashford's international experience as an important addition to the locker room, in a team that heavily relies on young players.

The report confirmed that the deal is practically settled, with only the official announcement remaining at the appropriate time, ensuring Barcelona retains a player who has proven his technical merit and market value, with the potential for future profit from his sale if both parties desire.
