Barcelona director Deco met with Marcus Rashford's agent Arturo Canales on Monday to begin negotiations for the forward's permanent transfer. The meeting also included Kostas Theoharides, who played a key role in facilitating Rashford's loan move last summer.
Barcelona wants to reduce the €30 million purchase option, though Manchester United considers the amount settled and non-negotiable. The Catalans also face salary concerns as they cannot match Rashford's current wages at United, though the player has expressed a desire to remain in Catalonia.
