Everything is agreed with Rashford, but the registration depends on Javier Tebas, and Joan Laporta expects the worst.
“I’d put the goalkeeping coach, who’s 63 years old, in the line-up before Rashford.”These are the words of Rúben Amorim, the Portuguese coach of Manchester United. It is understood that the player wants to join Barça in the next few hours no matter what.
Rashford: A New Olmo Case?
However, Barça still hasn’t made a formal offer to Manchester United for the player. The blaugrana club doesn’t want to get its fingers burned and wants to ensure that he can be registered. Laporta doesn’t want to experience another Olmo case.
With Olmo’s registration, the Professional Football League gave its blessing to the club’s accounts, granting access to the 1:1. Therefore, Barça needs to release a player to register the English international.
Laporta is working on smoothing things over with Javier Tebas, who has taken the Olmo case to court. Javier Tebas, a Real Madrid member and confessed Madridist supporter, is eagerly waiting to block Rashford’s registration.
Barça Hasn’t Made a Formal Offer Yet
The matter is not simple. This explains why FC Barcelona still hasn’t made a formal offer to Manchester United for the loan of their player until June 30, with an option to buy later.
Manchester United wants Barça to pay what remains of Rashford’s annual salary.This would be approximately 9 million. The blaugrana club can’t currently afford that amount.
However, Rashford is willing to make a financial effort in exchange for future compensation.
This is what Barça is negotiating with the player, who has said yes and is eager to wear the blaugrana colors. His contract would be like Lewandowski’s, increasing over time.
Rashford Only Asks to Be Registered
Rashford has chosen Barça and wants to leave Manchester United as soon as possible, where the atmosphere is very toxic for him. His relationship with the new coach, Rúben Amorim, is nonexistent, and he feels ignored by someone with no past at Old Trafford and is not willing to endure this ordeal any longer.
Amorim doesn’t want to see him in his locker room anymore, and Manchester United has put him on the market, hoping for a good offer. However, Rashford only wants to go to Barça, to which he only demands assurance of registration.
After the Olmo case, it will be difficult to convince Javier Tebas to allow Barça to register Marcus Rashford. Laporta is considering elevating the case to a public scandal to confirm LaLiga’s interest in harming him.
Meanwhile, from Türkiye, Jose Mourinho is trying to pull a fast one on Barça by taking Rashford to Fenerbahçe.
The president of the Turkish entity is negotiating with Manchester United. Although Rashford has given his word to Laporta and will only break it if Barça informs him that they can’t register him.
