Maintaining Rashford on loan in Barcelona is confirmed
Rashford has played three Liga matches so far, but has only been established once, against Levante, where he was replaced at halftime. El Nacional reports that Barça leaders consider him “shy, imprecise and lost” and envisage an early termination of his loan. Such a transfer would cost around 4 million pounds sterling in Barcelona; However, Balague denied these rumors.
Bangue qualifies these rumors of “totally absurd”
Bangue firmly refuted these allegations on social networks, writing: “It is absolutely absurd that Barcelona plans to prematurely end the loan from Marcus Rashford. Barça told his representative to have fully confidence in Rashford's potential and believe that he will rebuild himself as a high -level player. Nothing more to say, except that I agree with Gary Lineker and his treatment with certain media. ”
Rashford left Old Trafford after Ruben Amorim excluded him from the first team and placed it in the “shock group” of United. After missing the main targets Nico Williams and Luiz Diaz, Barça opted for Rashford, even if doubts persisted as to his recruitment. However, Liga champions are ready to be patient, confident in his ability to regain his best level in Spain.
Rashford still has almost a full season to prove himself at Camp Nou and win a final transfer. An option to buy 30 million pounds sterling was included in the loan contract, offering Barcelona a certain flexibility if it found regularity. For the moment, it remains firmly in the Flick's plans and could again appear when Barça welcomed Valence in his next Liga match on September 14.
