Manchester United and Barcelona are set to re-engage in negotiations this week regarding Marcus Rashford. The Catalan giants have until June 15th to activate a release clause in Rashford's contract, which would allow them to sign him from United this summer for approximately £26 million. However, reports have long suggested that the Spanish powerhouse aims to initiate discussions with United to lower the asking price for the England international.
The 28-year-old forward has been in stellar form this season, netting 11 goals and providing 13 assists in 41 appearances for the La Liga side. He has thrived under manager Hansi Flick since the coach's arrival last summer.
According to "The Sun," fresh talks are anticipated between Rashford's representatives and Barcelona ahead of their crucial second-leg clash against Atletico Madrid. While Barcelona will attempt to drive down the price, sources indicate that United believes the £26 million fee is a fair valuation for a world-class talent.
