His form dipped, his confidence seemed to suffer, and it often felt like every performance was judged more harshly than others.<\/p>\n<p>But Barcelona may be offering him something different, a fresh environment, a new tactical setup and a manager who clearly believes in him.<\/p>\n<p>That last part is important. Flick&#8217;s internal calls for Rashford to stay suggests this is not just a boardroom idea or a cheap market opportunity. It seems like the coach sees his true value.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Barcelona_are_aiming_for_a_permanent_deal\"><\/span>Barcelona are aiming for a permanent deal<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>From Barcelona&#8217;s perspective, this deal also makes sense in a practical sense. A \u20ac30 million transfer fee for an experienced international forward is not outrageous in today&#8217;s market, especially for a player who can operate from the left, attack spaces, run behind defenders and provide directness.<\/p>\n<p>Barcelona have plenty of technical players, but Rashford poses a different kind of threat. He&#8217;s not always smooth or perfect in tight areas, but when he&#8217;s confident he can stretch his team and change the game quickly.<\/p>\n<p>The financial aspects are likely to remain complex. Barcelona have had well-known problems with spending limits and squad registration in recent years, so even a \u20ac30m deal may require some creativity. That may be why a restructuring agreement is being discussed.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Manchester United ready to beat European rivals to represent Crystal Palace sensation <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><!-- Article End -->\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Marcus Rashford&#8217;s stay at Barcelona could be more than just a temporary escape from Manchester United.According to TEAMtalk, Barcelona manager Hansi Flick has made it clear behind the scenes that the club wants to keep Rashford beyond his loan contract and make him a permanent transfer in the summer.
