Marcus Rashford Signals Desire to Make Barcelona Loan Permanent
England forward Marcus Rashford has made his intentions clear about his future amid a successful spell with FC Barcelona, expressing a strong desire to stay with the club beyond his current loan agreement.
Rashford joined Barcelona from Manchester United on a season-long loan in the summer of 2025. Since then, the 28-year-old has been an influential figure in the side, contributing goals and assists as he settles into life in La Liga. His positive start has fuelled speculation about a permanent transfer once the loan term concludes. Barca Blaugranes
In recent comments to Spanish media, Rashford acknowledged that extending his stay in Barcelona is an “end goal,” while underscoring that his primary focus remains helping the club compete for titles this season. He praised the club, teammates, and staff, saying he felt welcomed from the moment he arrived and has adapted well to both the city and the footballing environment. Barca Blaugranes
Barcelona coach Hansi Flick has reportedly been impressed by Rashford’s performances and is supportive of the club pursuing a permanent deal. However, financial considerations could play a key role in whether Barcelona can trigger the purchase clause included in Rashford’s loan terms. Barca Blaugranes
Rashford’s path from Manchester United — where he had fallen out of favour and spent time on loan at Aston Villa earlier in 2025 — to a revitalised campaign in Spain highlights a career resurgence. At Barcelona, he has thrived within a competitive squad and underlines his intent to keep contributing at the highest level. The Sun
As the season progresses, all eyes will be on whether Barcelona can secure Rashford beyond the current campaign — a move that would mark a significant chapter in the England international’s club career.
