The future of Marcus Rashford with Barcelona remains uncertain pending the club's presidential elections scheduled for March 15, despite the outstanding performances the English player has been delivering this season in the Catalan team's jersey.

According to the Spanish newspaper "Sport," Rashford's performance impressed the fans at Spotify Camp Nou, as well as the coaching staff led by Hans Flick and the sports management headed by Deco. The club has expressed its readiness to activate the option to purchase the player for 30 million euros if he maintains the same level until the end of the season.

However, a report by the British newspaper "The Times" indicated that the decision to activate the purchase clause does not depend solely on the sporting aspect but is also linked to the outcome of the upcoming presidential elections. This is particularly because Rashford is considered a deal directly supported by Deco, the sports official on Joan Laporta's board, who resigned to run in the elections.

The current management, led by Laporta and overseen by Deco, had initially decided that the deal's value was economically suitable given the player's performance. This decision is part of the club's plan to rebuild Spotify Camp Nou and improve its financial situation while maintaining competitiveness, according to the newspaper "Sport."

Rashford has repeatedly affirmed his complete integration within the club and the city, which is reflected in his numbers this season, having scored 10 goals and provided 13 assists in 34 matches. He has also become an important option in Flick's lineup, whether as a direct substitute for Raphinha on the left side or in other attacking positions due to his versatility.

The ambiguity increases due to the positions of some potential candidates for the club's presidency. Victor Font has openly stated that he will not rely on Deco, while the other candidates, such as Xavi Vilajoana, Marc Ciria, and Joan Camprobi, have not yet expressed a clear stance, according to The Times.

Despite these facts, Rashford enjoys clear support from Laporta, Deco, and Hans Flick, who has publicly expressed his complete satisfaction with the player's performance. This makes the possibility of him staying with Barcelona for three additional seasons a strong option, pending the outcome of the upcoming elections.
