Marcus Rashford prefers Barcelona despite Bayern interest

Marcus Rashford, 28‑year‑old England forward, has signalled he wants to stay at Barcelona. Bayern Munich are reported to be interested in the player. Rashford spent the 2025/26 season on loan at Barcelona from Manchester United. He recorded 14 goals and 14 assists across all competitions. Barcelona negotiated a buy‑option into the loan but have not exercised it. Barcelona also completed the signing of Anthony Gordon from Newcastle United. Rashford played the season under coach Hansi Flick at the Catalan club. Despite interest from Bayern Munich and other European clubs, Rashford has refused to entertain alternative offers. Rashford said his focus is on the upcoming World Cup while he waits for Barcelona’s decision. The club’s next step rests with Deco.
