Since leaving Manchester United and joining Barcelona on loan in the summer transfer window, Rashford has been in excellent form. He contributed 6 goals and 7 assists to the team. However, there are different opinions on whether Barcelona is willing to buy him out. What is certain is that there will be no permanent transfer in the January winter window. According to British media reports, in order to attract Barcelona to activate the buyout clause, the 28-year-old Rashford is willing to take a significant salary cut.

"Football Insider" reported that Barcelona and Rashford's team have started negotiations on the transfer and told Rashford that if he wants to stay at Camp Nou, he must accept a salary cut. Former Everton executive Keith Wyness has revealed he heard Rashford has agreed to take a pay cut.

According to what he said, Rashford is willing to reduce his weekly salary of 325,000 pounds at Manchester United to 175,000 pounds, a reduction of 150,000 pounds. However, because of Spain's payment method, Rashford's final actual income may not be reduced that much.

Wyness explained: "I've heard that Rashford's weekly wages will be reduced from about £325,000 to £175,000. It's a pretty big drop, but given the way Spain is paid, he might be able to enjoy some tax benefits. Spain usually pays a net amount rather than a gross amount. I think he will accept it because He is really enjoying life again. It can be seen from Rashford's game that he is beginning to respond. Barcelona is more likely to achieve greater achievements. Although the basic salary may be reduced, there will also be bonuses."

Although there are recent rumors that Barcelona does not intend to buy out, Wyness is optimistic that the deal will be completed. "I expect the deal to go through. I think it's probably the right move for Rashford as a player. And I think from a financial point of view, he doesn't have to worry too much. Everyone wants to maximize the return, but I think it's a smart deal. "

Rashford's contract with Manchester United expires in 2028, and Sir Jim Ratcliffe's Ineos team will hope that his permanent transfer can be completed smoothly without wasting efforts to find other buyers. Although Barcelona's transaction amount is only 30 million euros, plus 5 million euros in floating terms, given that this is a youth training player, any income is a pure income, which will greatly improve next summer's financial report and help the buyer continue to rebuild.

Manchester United hopes to sell or release most of the first-team players who have been rented out this season, including Rashford, Hoylund, Sancho and others. However, goalkeeper Radek Vitek, who has joined Bristol City in the British Championship on loan, is expected to return to the team to compete with Senna Lamens.

The 22-year-old Czech goalkeeper Vitek is slightly less than the Belgian national goalkeeper Lamens who joined for 18 million pounds. His performance in the British Championship made Manchester United happy. They believe that he has the ability to compete with Lamens for the No. 1 goalkeeper position, and his development process is faster than expected.

Manchester United can already discuss whether to recall him next season and compete with Lamence for the main position. Doing so would mean Turkish goalkeeper Altay Bayindil has no future at the club.

If Manchester United does not reuse Vitke, many English Championship teams and even some Premier League clubs will be interested in introducing him. Witek dreams of playing for the Manchester United first team, but if he can only sit on the bench for a long time, he will be inclined to leave, just like senior brothers such as Dean Henderson and Matje Kovar in the past. Not every goalkeeper is willing to be a backup.
