FC Barcelona has decided to bid “adéu” or “adios” to Marcus Rashford by not exercising the Manchester United-owned winger’s buy option, according to MARCA.
Rashford joined the Catalans on a loan deal for the 2025/2026 season, which finished with the Englishman becoming a national league champion for the first time.
Despite his 14 goals and 14 assists which contributed to Barça scooping a La Liga and Spanish Super Cup double, however, it has decided not to exercise Rashford’s $35 million (€30 million) buy option.
Anthony Gordon’s arrival at the Spotify Camp Nou has had a lot do with this. Barça shocked the football world a fortnight ago, by coming out of nowhere and wrapping up a $80.85 million (€70 million) deal for the now-former Newcastle United forward.
As the two wingers share the same position, and will fight for it at the World Cup for England, Rashford is surplus to requirements considering star player Raphinha also operates on the left.
