According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, Barcelona are yet to make a definitive decision on whether to pursue Marcus Rashford as internal discussions continue over the club's preferred profile for a new wide player.

Despite the Manchester United winger's strong desire to join the Catalan side, no formal negotiations have taken place between the two clubs.

The situation remains at an early stage, with the Catalans focusing on their broader transfer strategy before committing to any one target. Rashford's salary — reported to be around £325,000 per week — presents a significant financial hurdle, particularly given Barcelona's ongoing efforts to manage their wage structure and comply with La Liga's financial regulations.

For Rashford, a move to the Camp Nou is understood to be a long-held ambition. However, the lack of direct talks and the uncertainty within the club's recruitment hierarchy mean a deal is far from imminent. Club sources suggest that multiple options are being considered as part of their wider summer planning.

While the interest is mutual, any progress will likely depend on Barcelona's ability to offload players and clarify their financial position. Until then, his future remains in limbo, caught between a dream move and the realities of modern football economics.
