Manchester United strongly promotes the "salary cut + forced buyout" plan, Barcelona s internal opposition surges

July 13th - Manchester United is willing to "conditionally" send Rashford away: the English striker needs to cut his salary by 40% during the loan period, and the opponent's club must force a buyout in the summer window of 2026, with a price of about 48 million euros. Coach Amorin has excluded him from training together, and the master can only train alone at Carrington. Barcelona has become the hottest next home. The player himself has followed Yamal, Pedri and Lewandowski on social media. The agent also met with the Deco team and proposed to be willing to cut salaries significantly. But Barcelona sports director Deco clearly objected, on the grounds that Mourinho and Ferguson had questioned Rashford's fulcrum ability and continuous goal efficiency. Frick appreciated his counterattack speed and believed that he could serve as both the left winger and the center. In order to calm the locker room turmoil as soon as possible, Manchester United may subsidize part of the salary in the transaction and insist on a forced buyout clause to avoid the recurrence of Aston Villa's "return after rent" last year. The negotiations are now entering a critical week, and Rashford's future will be clear by the end of July.
