Deco met with Rashford’s representatives, including agent Arturo Canales and Kostas Theoharides, to begin negotiations for a permanent move from Manchester United. The club wants to lower the €30 million purchase option set last summer, a point of friction as United consider the clause fixed.
United remain firm on the fee, while Barcelona face salary constraints that could force a wage cut for Rashford if he stays. Negotiations are underway, with both sides hoping a compromise can be reached before the summer window opens.
