Spanish press reports revealed that the English star Marcus Rashford has decided his position regarding his future, preferring to continue with Barcelona next season, despite being under contract with Manchester United until 2028, according to the Spanish newspaper 'Mundo Deportivo'.

This direction came after Rashford's outstanding performance in the last match against Getafe, where he scored the second goal in his team's victory, reinforcing his belief in his ability to continue within the Catalan team's project, which he believes suits his capabilities significantly.

According to the report, the English player relies on his statistics to convince the technical staff led by Hans Flick, having contributed to 26 goals in 2333 minutes, scoring 13 goals, and assisting 11, in addition to causing two penalties, with a goal contribution every 89 minutes, a remarkable rate compared to major clubs like Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid.

The report indicated that Rashford has already reached a preliminary agreement with Barcelona in recent months regarding the terms of his contract, should the 30 million purchase option be activated before June, but completing the deal remains complicated, as the club desires to reduce the financial value.

The age of the player, who will turn 29 in October, also plays a role in the administration's direction towards a short-term contract, which increases the financial depreciation value. However, Rashford has shown his willingness to forgo a significant portion of his salary to facilitate his continuation, especially as he wants to decide his future before playing in the World Cup.

The player feels comfortable within Barcelona's ranks, seeing that the team includes the most integrated group in the world, and he does not mind rotating in the starting lineup, even in the absence of Raphinha, given the strong competition among a large number of attacking players capable of starting.

In the same context, sources within the club confirmed that Rashford's behavior, professionalism, and commitment within the team are beyond doubt, and coach Hans Flick appreciates his capabilities, despite some ongoing doubts related to his decisions and level in certain matches.
