According to Spanish media, the English striker flatly rejected offers from three top Premier League clubs to wait for a call from the Camp Nou team.
Rashford rejected interest from Chelsea, Aston Villa and Newcastle United, as well as a lucrative offer from the Saudi Pro League, making it clear that his number one priority in the summer transfer window of 2025 is to play for the Catalan giants.
Rashford's determination is so great that he is willing to make significant sacrifices. The 27-year-old striker has urged United to accept a loan deal, the preferred option for Barcelona due to their tight financial situation.
He even suggested a deep salary cut to help Barca avoid problems with financial fair play when registering for next season.
However, Rashford's road to Barcelona has not been smooth. Despite his representatives meeting with Sporting Director Deco, Barcelona still prioritized the deal for Athletic Bilbao's Nico Williams. Williams is said to have agreed to join Barca and has a release clause of 58 million euros.
Meanwhile, MU wants a permanent deal and is demanding a fee of 40 million euros, a figure that Barcelona are not willing to meet at the moment. Therefore, the Spanish team is sending a clear message to Rashford that he must wait patiently, possibly until the final days of the transfer window.
In a recent interview, when asked about the prospect of playing alongside young talent Lamine Yamal, Rashford admitted: "Definitely. Anyone in the world wants to play with the best. So hopefully we'll see that happen."
The statement further cemented Rashford's "all or nothing" gamble, placing his future in Barcelona's hands in a tumultuous summer.
