However, Barcelona opposed any option involving the departure or exchange of Bernal, and the player himself is firmly against leaving the Catalan club. Bernal is clear that his future lies at Barcelona and does not consider any alternative to wearing the Blaugrana shirt.
Furthermore, Barcelona coach Hansi Flick has confirmed he counts on Bernal for the 2026/27 season despite any media speculation. Bernal has communicated with Flick and received confirmation of his role in the squad.
The negotiations involving Manchester United’s Rashford transfer with Bernal included will not proceed, as both the club and the player have no interest in such an arrangement.
