of manchester united Marcus Rashford has already agreed personal terms with Barcelona ahead of a permanent move this summer.
game The report adds that Barcelona have reached an agreement over the forward's wages, but are now seeking ore favorable terms with Manchester United.
Barcelona is working on a deal
The newspaper reports that Barcelona are pushing hard to keep Marcus Rashford when his loan deal with Manchester United expires at the end of the season.
It came after Barcelona manager Hansi Flick requested that the 28-year-old be kept as part of the project. The Catalan club had practically rejected a deal due to his price, but alternative options have not convinced Flick.
Rashford has played his part, making it clear he is willing to make it easier to fit his 'multimillion-euro' salary within Barcelona's wage range.
A long contract will be agreed, and the Englishman is willing to share the payment and give up part of his salary. Now Barcelona want to avoid paying the €30m buyout clause they agreed with Manchester United last summer.
Manchester United has a strong grip
Manchester United, for their part, have been very firm in early talks. They are refusing to accept a lower transfer fee or an extension of the loan deal.
He has also argued that the current €30m price tag is below the value of Marcus Rashford. They have already agreed to a flexible payment plan to be paid over three years. Barcelona want a price cut, but it is unlikely United will accept it.
However, their main problem is Rashford. He is blocking any talks, does not want to return to Old Trafford Will not accept any other proposal.
This has left Manchester United in a 'real crisis'. Sport argue that both clubs are certain to reach an agreement, but they need to find a deal that satisfies both parties.
Barcelona would like another loan with a new, less mandatory purchase option. At that time Rashford would have only one year left on his contract with Manchester United. But they also want to save on Rashford's wages for a second season.
In other words, they want their cake, then they want to eat it too. After that they want another cake and then they want to eat that too.
