According to reports, Barcelona has ‘abandoned’ their attempts to sign Marcus Rashford from Manchester United, leaving Tottenham to pick up the pieces. Rashford’s season-long loan at Barcelona is coming to an end, and if he gets his way, he will return to the Camp Nou next season.
Barcelona and Rashford have already agreed on personal terms. According to Sky Germany, Barcelona manager Hansi Flick has ‘authorized’ Rashford’s return.

However, the problem arises from Barcelona’s refusal to simply exercise their €30 million buy option.
So far, Manchester United has stuck to their guns and demanded the entire, pre-agreed fee of €30 million be paid. Barcelona, on the other hand, wants to arrange a second loan for Rashford or sign him outright for a lower sum.
The scenario has sparked wild conjecture in both England and Spain. According to the most recent report from Spanish publication Sport, the plug has finally been pulled on Barcelona’s end.
So far, Manchester United has remained firm in its demand for the full €30 million agreed-upon sum. Barcelona, on the other hand, is looking to arrange a second loan for Rashford or sign him outright for a lesser fee.
The scenario has aroused much speculation in both England and Spain. According to the most recent rumor from Spanish daily Sport, the plug has finally been pulled at Barcelona’s end.
Tottenham sign Marcus Rashford
That’s where Tottenham comes in, with Sport reporting that the north London club has a ‘real interest’ in signing the 28-year-old. It was unclear if they would seek to loan the forward or purchase him altogether.
Naturally, any agreement is contingent on Tottenham escaping relegation. Despite winning their first league game of 2026 last weekend, Tottenham remain in the relegation zone as West Ham also scooped up three points.
The article concluded: ‘If Roberto De Zerbi’s club can stay up, their directors intend to reinforce the roster with crucial players.
‘The purchase of Argentine centre-back Marcos Senesi, who is presently at Bournemouth, is a done deal, and Rashford might be another addition.’
