Marcus Rashford's dream of a permanent transfer to Barcelona is under threat as the Spanish club's financial difficulties continue to mount. The Manchester United forward, currently on a season-long loan at the Camp Nou, has an option for a permanent £26m move, but Barcelona are struggling to raise the funds.
The Catalan giants have until June 15 to exercise the option, but reports indicate they are 'running out of money' to complete the renovation of the Nou Camp. The project has exceeded its £1.25bn budget, and the club is seeking additional financing from Goldman Sachs.
Barcelona's hesitation has opened the door for other suitors, including Bayern Munich, who are willing to meet United's asking price but not Rashford's current wages. However, the 28-year-old is reportedly not interested in joining Vincent Kompany's side and has rebuffed approaches from other clubs.
Unless Barcelona can reach an agreement with United, Rashford may find his options limited. He remains focused on England's World Cup preparations, with a friendly against Costa Rica on Wednesday.
