Marcus Rashford has 'only two options' heading into final week of transfer window with Man Utd ready to leave forward 'in the cold'

<p>The England international’s decision to explore options away from Old Trafford has sparked interest, but <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/marcus-rashford-told-no-way-back-man-utd-nine-millimetre-revolver-bang-ruben-amorim-club-legend-insists-forward-should-be-embarrassed/blt1da84bb4a20e5f95" target="_blank">his criteria for a move have significantly</a> reduced the number of potential destinations. He prefers a club that will compete for major trophies and play in a competitive league which will help him establish himself as a contender for a Three Lions spot in March when Thomas Tuchel names his first squad after taking over from Gareth Southgate.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>According to <a href="https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/marcus-rashford-transfer-news-man-utd-juventus-b2687884.html" target="_blank"><em>The Independent</em></a><em>, </em>these strict requirements have left Rashford with just two realistic options: a loan to Juventus for the remainder of the season or a potential <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/barcelona-major-sale-open-door-marcus-rashford-deal-transfer-boost-verge-being-sealed/blt11d1a6ec00c8a8e6" target="_blank">long-term move to Barcelona</a>. Interest from the Catalan giants dates back to 2018, but their financial constraints make a transfer in the current window challenging. Any move to Spain would require significant player sales to comply with La Liga’s strict financial regulations.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Rashford has shown little enthusiasm for offers from others such as Tottenham, West Ham and Bundesliga side Borussia Dortmund. A major problem blocking any potential departure has been his salary. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/marcus-rashford-barcelona-move-unai-hernandez-al-ittihad-transfer-man-utd-outcast/blt3027a5b01875be46" target="_blank">Earning over £300,000 per week</a>, the forward’s wages are proving to be a sticking point for interested clubs. Many suitors are reluctant to cover even 50% of his hefty weekly package, which has complicated United’s ability to negotiate a deal.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>As the January window progresses, Rashford’s future remains in limbo. The forward is not only fighting to secure a move that aligns with his ambitions but also aiming to stay relevant for England selection. Although Juventus and Barcelona remain viable destinations, financial challenges could yet derail a move.</p>
