Transfer market: Barça triggers the purchase option for Marcus Rashford, the shadow of Sergio Ramos looms over Real Madrid
According to the latest rumors from the Spanish press, Barça has activated the purchase option for Marcus Rashford, is targeting Romero, and is monitoring the possible return of Sergio Ramos to Real Madrid.
This is a decision that leaves no room for hesitation. According to exclusive information from Sport revealed by Luis Miguelsanz, FC Barcelona has taken the “unanimous” decision to activate the purchase option set at 30 million euros to keep Marcus Rashford. The English forward, on loan from Manchester United, has totally convinced the sporting and technical leadership with his performances. The deal would already be sealed: “Manchester United will not reduce its asking price by a single euro,” the source says, adding that Barça regards this amount as “fair” in light of the current market value.
At the same time, the Catalan giants would sharpen their weapons for another move. Gabriel Sans, of Mundo Deportivo, reports a very serious interest in Tottenham’s centre-back and captain, Cristian Romero. Aged 27, the Argentine would have “chosen to seek a new club in June,” despite a contract running until 2029. A hot prospect to bolster a defense that is looking for a leader.
On the other side of the rivalry, a ghost could well return. The Spanish transfer market is shaken by rumors of Sergio Ramos’s comeback. Dropped by the Mexican club Monterrey in December, the 39-year-old World Cup champion is looking to continue his career in Spain. According to Juanfe Sanz on El Chiringuito’s airwaves, two destinations are on the table: an emotional return to Seville, his formative club, or a surprise return to Real Madrid.
“This is not the first time he has offered himself to Real Madrid in difficult moments. He also mentioned that he is always ready to join Sevilla, because “the two teams he loves most are Real Madrid and Sevilla,” he said. However, Sevilla’s sporting director, Antonio Cordon, has already dashed Andalusian hopes by mentioning the absence of a “financial possibility” for such a transfer. Is the door to the Bernabéu still ajar? The Ramos saga is reignited.
