Barcelona has paused their final decision on making Marcus Rashford's transfer permanent, even though the deal's framework is already in place.
A €30 million fee split into three installments has been agreed, alongside personal terms for a three-year contract. However, the club is wary that Rashford's salary might aggravate their tight financial fair play situation.
The team is closely monitoring Rashford's form during the decisive end of the season, noting concerns as he hasn't scored since late January. His performances in critical matches will influence whether Barcelona activates the purchase option.
This approach shows Barcelona's strategic caution—waiting to secure sporting guarantees before committing financially. If Rashford proves his value on the pitch, the club will finalize the deal; if not, the future remains uncertain, emphasizing how wage structures impact transfer decisions despite manageable fees.
