Barcelona makes decision on Rashford after Gordon signing
Barcelona has decided on Marcus Rashford's future after agreeing a £70m deal for Newcastle United star Anthony Gordon. Despite Gordon's imminent move to Barcelona, the Catalan club still intends to work on a permanent deal for Rashford this week, rejecting another loan option. The 28-year-old impressed during his 2025/26 loan spell from Manchester United, scoring 14 goals and providing 10 assists under manager Hansi Flick. Rashford has made it clear he wishes to stay at the Nou Camp beyond this summer, having established himself as a key player during his time in Spain. Barcelona's transfer strategy now involves potentially having both Gordon and Rashford in their squad for the upcoming season, with the former Newcastle winger expected to add width to their attack while Rashford provides central striking options and creativity. With Premier League clubs monitoring developments, Rashford's permanent move to Barcelona would significantly impact both the English and Spanish transfer markets. Will Barcelona successfully secure Rashford permanently, creating an exciting attacking partnership with Gordon, or will other Premier League clubs make competing offers for the England international?
