Marcus Rashford is making waves at Barcelona and is already hinting at a permanent stay, citing the fresh start and love for the club as key reasons.
The England winger, who joined the Catalan giants on loan from Manchester United until June 2026, revealed he is thoroughly enjoying his time at Camp Nou. Barcelona holds an option to make the move permanent for £28 million, a figure lower than what United might demand from other suitors.
I’m enjoying this football club, and I think for anybody who loves football, Barcelona is one of the key clubs in the history of the game. For a player, it is an honour, Rashford told ESPN. When asked about staying in Spain long-term, he added: For sure.
The 27-year-old spent the second half of last season on loan at Aston Villa, where he revived his career under Unai Emery. At Barcelona, he has continued his form, scoring five goals in 12 games, including a Champions League double against Olympiakos.
Set to feature in his first El Clásico against Real Madrid this weekend, Rashford says the move has given him a new perspective. People forget this, but 23 years of my life was with Manchester United. So sometimes you just need a change. I think maybe this is the case with me, and I’m enjoying everything, he said.
