Barcelona target turns down big-money proposal from Saudi Arabia | OneFootball

According to Mundo Deportivo, Marcus Rashford has turned down a huge offer from Saudi Arabia because his priority is to play for Barcelona.

The English forward is fully focused on securing a move to Camp Nou this summer and is willing to wait for the Catalan club to finalise their plans.

Rashford is currently one of the most talked-about players in the transfer market, as Manchester United have made it clear that he is not part of their main plans for the future, which has attracted interest from several top clubs.

Barcelona see Rashford as the perfect alternative to Luis Diaz, who remains their first choice but is involved in a much more complicated and expensive negotiation.

While the English forward is on Barcelona’s radar, he has also received attention from Saudi Arabia. In fact, one club even made him a huge proposal worth around €40 million.

However, the forward rejected the offer. Sources close to the player say his dream is to wear the Barcelona shirt, and he is prepared to do whatever it takes to make that happen.

Rashford is aware of Barcelona’s financial situation and their ongoing issues with La Liga’s salary limits. To help make the move possible, he is open to reducing his current salary demands.

The idea would be to join Barça on a loan deal with an option to buy for a fee between €30 and €40 million.

The Englishman hopes to resolve his future soon because he wants to start the pre-season with his new team. Barcelona’s players return to training on Monday, with the club’s summer tour set to begin on the 24th of this month.

Rashford knows joining the team early would help him adapt quickly and be ready to perform from day one.

For now, the Blaugrana are not rushing to close the deal. After missing out on Nico Williams, the club is still working to balance their wage structure under La Liga’s financial rules.

Despite this, Rashford remains patient. He is confident that the move to Camp Nou will happen and is determined to wait as long as necessary.
