Deco Meets Rashford Agents to Lower Buyout Fee

Barcelona sporting director Deco met with agent Arturo Canales to negotiate Marcus Rashford's permanent transfer, aiming to lower the €30 million buyout clause.

The meeting, also attended by agent Kostas Theoharides, aims to build bridges with Manchester United, who remain firm on the agreed fee.

Financial constraints pose a challenge, as Barcelona cannot match Rashford's current salary. However, the player's desire to stay could aid negotiations as the summer window approaches.
