Amorim stressed the need for dedication and performance, indicating that Rashford’s future at Manchester United is uncertain. Despite the potential interest from Barcelona, financial constraints may hinder Rashford’s loan move to the Spanish club.
Barcelona’s Financial Hurdles
Barcelona must free up funds in their salary cap to accommodate Rashford’s loan deal, requiring at least €6m to make the move feasible. However, current players like Eric Garcia and Ansu Fati have not shown signs of leaving, complicating Barcelona’s financial situation. A potential transfer of young talent Unai Hernandez to Saudi Arabia could provide the necessary funds for Rashford’s deal, with Barcelona expected to cover his wages for the remainder of the season.
