INSIDER INSIGHT: BARCELONA’S GENUINE FEELINGS ABOUT RASHFORD FINALLY REVEALED
Marcus Rashford is flourishing on loan at Barcelona with 13 goal involvements in 14 games. The Man United exile scored again in a 3-1 win over Elche, strengthening his case for a permanent £28m move away from Old Trafford.

After scoring for Barcelona in their 3-1 La Liga victory over Elche, Marcus Rashford once again showed his mettle.
With 13 goal involvements in 14 games, including six goals and seven assists, the Englishman has had an outstanding start to life in Spain.
Just after the hour, with Barcelona ahead 2-1, he scored his most recent goal.
After receiving the ball on the box's edge, Rashford outran his opponent and smashed a left-footed drive that struck the crossbar.
The Barcelona fans gave him a standing ovation as he exited the field after being replaced in the 74th minute.
After his relationship with Manchester United's head coach Ruben Amorim soured, Rashford signed a season-long loan to Barcelona in the summer.
Barcelona has a £28 million buyout option in the contract, and he has since shown a wish to make the transfer to Spain permanent.
Club executives have stated that they will take their time before determining whether to activate that option, even in light of his impressive performances.
Guillem Balague, a Spanish football specialist, commented on X, writing: "FC Barcelona scores another goal thanks to Rashford. 13 games, 6 goals, 6 assists.
"Just shake your head and smile when you hear FCB wants to fire him again, as this will be widely reported without any justification.
Barcelona is quite happy with him. There is still no decision.
"Many articles about Rashford have a (dreadful) agenda, and I do not need to tell you that."
It appears inevitable that Rashford will leave Old Trafford next summer, even though there is no assurance that Barcelona would sign him on a long-term basis.
His relationship with Amorim seems to be irrevocably damaged, and a return to Manchester seems improbable given Sir Jim Ratcliffe's assertion that the Portuguese head coach will be given three years to establish himself.
Rashford is anticipated to be pursued by other elite European teams if the Barcelona deal falls through.
Bayern Munich, which surfaced as a possible suitor throughout the summer, might be a possible destination.
Rashford will believe he might succeed in the Bundesliga with England teammate Harry Kane leading the way and already scoring 12 goals this season.
Although it is unknown if Rashford would consider it, a return to the Premier League, such as a move to Aston Villa, cannot be ruled out.
At the end of the current campaign, Rashford will still have two years remaining on his Manchester United contract, which is set to expire in 2028.
Given that his current salary is reportedly an incredible £325,000 per week, he would probably have to lower his salary demands in order to join Barcelona permanently.
HARRY KANE REACTS TO REPORTS LINKING HIM WITH BARCELONA TRANSFER
Barcelona is eyeing Harry Kane as a potential replacement for the departing Robert Lewandowski. However, the striker's high wage demands could scupper any move due to the club's ongoing financial constraints.

Given that Robert Lewandowski will most likely leave when his contract expires at the end of the current campaign, Barcelona plans to acquire a new striker next summer. Harry Kane is one of the candidates they have been connected to; this might be a rerun of the transfer they made for his potential successors in 2022.
Barcelona has had great success with its decision to sign Lewandowski. Instead of acquiring a younger player who might be the team's starting striker for many years to come, they might decide to bring in another well-known name, and Kane would be the perfect addition in this case.
Barcelona is aware of the exact amount they would have to spend to get Kane because his Bayern Munich contract includes a €65 million release clause. Sport claims that although the England international is aware of Catalonia's interest, he will not decide on his future until the end of the current campaign.
Barcelona's move would be doubtful due to Kane's demands.
Even though Kane has not decided yet, Barcelona might have already moved on by the time he does. He is reportedly demanding a high salary, probably comparable to the €25 million (gross) he presently makes at Bayern, which the Catalans may find difficult to match given their well-known financial difficulties.
Given that Kane is now among the top nine in the world of football, there is little question that he would be the best striker Barcelona could buy next summer. However, if his wage demands remain the same for when the transfer window opens next summer, it would not be financially prudent.
XABI ALONSO OFFER COULD HAVE LURED FLORIAN WIRTZ TO REAL MADRID
Bayer Leverkusen CEO Fernando Carro reveals the club was willing to break its salary cap in a desperate attempt to keep Florian Wirtz, but the star's Champions League ambition led to his departure, not a move to Bayern Munich.

In a frantic attempt to keep Wirtz at the club, Carro also disclosed that Leverkusen had been prepared to blow through its salary cap. He implied that an extension would eventually be signed, but acknowledged the German team had harassed him too much.
He continued, "The Wirtz family and Florian knew that our primary objective was extending their contracts." "We handled pay throughout the summer moves with extreme caution.
However, we would have been willing to grant Florian an exception.
"Undoubtedly, in a range that has never been witnessed by Bayer Leverkusen. In order to extend the contract, we were willing to go above and beyond.
And it appeared as though it would work out for a time. I am aware that we occasionally bothered him excessively. However, although his parents serve as his advisors, Florian ultimately made his own decisions, and I believe it is admirable that they totally honour his desires."
Carro said that one of the main reasons Wirtz left Leverkusen was his ambition to win the Champions League, and he confirmed that the midfielder never made a deal with Bayern Munich, despite what was said at the time.
He remarked, "I do not think that was ever true (regarding Bayern)." "Papa Wirtz informed us that "it is not correct."
"Winning the Champions League is something he aspires to. We believed we could have accomplished more with this crew than we really did. He noticed that we had won the German title, but it might be harder to win the Champions League with Bayer Leverkusen.
