Marcus Rashford sends simple message to Bayern Munich over transfer from Man United

Manchester United academy graduate Marcus Rashford faces an uncertain future with Barcelona beyond this summer with doubts over whether the Catalan side will make his loan move permanent

Marcus Rashford is reportedly only focused on completing a move to Barcelona amid recent links with Bayern Munich. The Manchester United forward spent the 2025/26 campaign on loan in Catalonia.

The La Liga champions have a £26million purchase option included in their loan arrangement with United to secure his services. Barca have until June 15 to activate their buy option for Rashford, but reports from Spain suggest the Catalan side are hesitant to pay the agreed sum and may attempt to renegotiate it.

Reports in The Sun, meanwhile, have suggested that Bundesliga giants Bayern are willing to match United‘s valuation of the England forward. However, it is said there is not the same enthusiasm to pay Rashford’s sky-high wages.

And Spanish publication Marca claim that the 28-year-old is not keen on joining Vincent Kompany’s team, regardless. It is claimed that Rashford is not answering any calls from other teams – including Bayern.

The report adds that the German champions have made no concrete approach at this stage. It remains unclear whether Rashford will play for Barca again, but it is understood that United have no intention of bringing him back into their first-team fold.

Barcelona head coach Hansi Flick has spoken warmly about his experience working with Rashford, but declined to be drawn on talks regarding his long-term future at the Camp Nou.

Speaking after the attacker scored against Real Madrid in El Clasico on May 10, he said: “I’m very happy with Marcus. He has shown his quality and he scored an important goal.

“I can’t say anything about his future, we have to focus on the matches until the end of the season.”

Rashford netted 14 times and contributed a further 14 assists across all competitions for Barca – playing a pivotal role in their La Liga and Spanish Supercopa victories.
