Marcus Rashford is making it clear this summer that his heart is set on a move to Barcelona, and he is doing everything possible to push the transfer through.
The 27-year-old Manchester United forward has reportedly told his camp and club that he will only consider joining the Spanish giants, rejecting all other options in his quest to wear the Blaugrana jersey.
Rashford’s determination to join Barcelona comes amid a complicated summer for the England international.
After spending the latter half of last season on loan at Aston Villa, where he impressed with four goals and six assists in 17 appearances, Rashford returned to Manchester United only to find himself sidelined.
He has been training alone at the club’s Carrington facilities, separated from the first team and working on intense physical routines, including long-distance running, to stay in peak condition for a potential move to Spain.
Despite lucrative offers from other suitors, including a reported £35 million bid from a Saudi Arabian club, Rashford has turned down these options. His priority is clear: Barcelona.
Sources close to the player say he is even willing to accept a pay cut to make the transfer happen, showing his commitment to joining the Catalan club, reported Mundo Deportivo.
Furthermore, Rashford’s representatives have indicated that neither United’s asking price nor wage demands will be an obstacle, as the player is ready to be flexible on terms.

Manchester United, for their part, have yet to schedule formal talks with Barcelona or Rashford’s agents, though rumors suggest discussions could happen soon.
The club is open to offers but remains firm on their valuation. A loan deal with an obligation to buy is being considered as a possible route to facilitate the transfer.
With three years remaining on his contract at Old Trafford, Rashford’s future remains uncertain.
However, his actions this summer leave little doubt: he is desperate to leave Manchester United and begin a new chapter at Barcelona. The coming weeks will be critical in determining whether this high-profile transfer saga reaches a resolution.
