Rashford 'not set for new talks with Man Utd' as he rejects Saudi club in favour of Barca

Marcus Rashford's representatives have denied reports that there are due to be new talks with Manchester United about his future as he appears most likely to move to Barcelona.

With Díaz’s transfer proving more complicated and expensive, Rashford is increasingly seen as a viable option for Barça’s attack.

Rashford is fully aware that Barcelona continue to keep him on their shortlist and wants to understand exactly what it would take to leave Old Trafford.

As reported by the Daily Mirror, a meeting between Manchester United and Rashford’s representatives is expected soon, where they will discuss the fee required for his departure but this has been denied by Rashford's camp, reported Mundo Deportivo.

United are believed to be open to both a permanent transfer and a loan with an obligation to buy, with the latter being more manageable for Barcelona’s financial fair play situation.

The England international remains determined to compete at the highest level in Europe, especially after a productive loan spell at Aston Villa in the second half of last season.

here, Rashftord impressed with his performances, reaffirming his value on the continental stage.

Despite already returning to training under manager Rúben Amorim, Rashford has rejected a lucrative offer from Saudi Arabia, signalling his preference to remain in elite European football and his willingness to wait for Barcelona’s decision1.

Rashford’s contract with United runs until 2028, but his future at the club looks increasingly uncertain. Barcelona’s “Plan A” remains Luis Díaz, but with the Colombian waiting a few days before pressing Liverpool for a move, Rashford has emerged as the most realistic alternative.

The coming days are expected to be crucial, as Rashford and his camp seek clarity from United on the terms for a potential exit, while Barcelona weigh their options and financial constraints.

In summary, Rashford’s camp is pushing for a swift resolution, with a meeting set to determine the conditions of his departure. Whether through a loan or permanent deal, Rashford is now firmly on Barcelona’s radar as they look to reinforce their attack this summer.
