BARCELONA will not have to pay Manchester United if they choose not to buy Marcus Rashford at the end of his loan deal.Sporting director Deco has revealed that there is no “penalty clause” in the agreement but there is an option to sign the forward on a permanent deal.EPAMarcus Rashford is on loan at Barcelona[/caption]GettyThere is no penalty fee to pay if he does not join permanently, sporting director Deco has explained[/caption]The former Chelsea, Porto, and Barcelona midfielder told Spanish outlet Mundo Deportivo: “It’s too early to talk about decisions for next season. What matters is that we’re happy with him.”Rashford was keen on moving to Barca in January only to end up at Aston Villa, where he scored four goals and assisted six in 17 matches across all competitions.He has since started brightly under Hansi Flick, supplementing a stacked front-line that includes Raphinha, Lamine Yamal, Fermin Lopez and Robert Lewandowski.Rashford scored his first goals for the Catalan giants two weeks ago in the Champions League group phase opener away at Newcastle United.Deco has been impressed, adding: “He’s delivering what we thought he could deliver.“He’s a high-level player. He burst on to the scene at a very young age, then he had some great seasons at United. “Then some more complicated years with changes of coaches and perhaps it was also difficult for him because a lot was demanded of him there.“But we’re happy with him, that’s the most important thing. These decisions aren’t for now.BEST ONLINE CASINOS – TOP SITES IN THE UK“Now it’s time to focus on the upcoming games. A decision will be made, but we’re not talking about that now.”The 27-year-old has ambitions in getting back into the England national team regularly under Thomas Tuchel ahead of the 2026 World Cup in America. His form at Barcelona will be central to his chances and Flick has started to rely on him increasingly.The German head coach has started Rashford in each of the last five matches with four assists coming, one apiece in league games during that run.Flick explained: “I have seen [improvement] in the last games. The Newcastle match gives him a lot of confidence.“Now he’s here. He’s arrived in Barcelona. And it’s not always easy.“From another league to come to LaLiga, it’s not always easy, because opponents are different, it’s a different style to play football, but he’s adapted well.”
