According to the report, he is willing to extend his contract to five years until 2032 while maintaining the same reduced salary he previously agreed.

The idea would allow Barcelona to spread the transfer fee over a longer period, lowering the annual amortisation cost and easing financial fair play pressures.

The 27-year-old has already accepted a 40% pay cut and remains determined to stay at Camp Nou.

However, Manchester United are refusing to sanction another loan deal and insist on a full permanent transfer, with interest also emerging from Aston Villa.

Despite the hurdles, Barcelona value Marcus Rashford highly after his 14 goals and 12 assists this season.
