Barcelona are seeking to permanently sign Marcus Rashford from Manchester United, with director Deco meeting the player's representatives to begin negotiations. The main point of contention is the €30 million purchase option, which Barcelona hopes to reduce.
While Manchester United remains firm on the price, Barcelona believes ongoing talks and the player's desire to stay in Catalonia could lead to a compromise. Salary negotiations will also be crucial as the Catalan club cannot match Rashford's current Manchester United wages.
