Spanish media: Manchester United hopes that Rashford s contract will strengthen the buyout clause, while Barcelona wants to choose to buyout

According to Spanish media El Chiringuito, Frick, Laporta and Pini Zahavi held an hour and a half meeting in Barcelona this afternoon. Pini Zahavi is a middleman in the Rashford trade and he may become De Jong's new agent. The season planning was discussed in the

talks and the Rashford deal was discussed. Barcelona is seeking to strengthen the left winger after Nico Williams finally renews his contract with Bilbao until 2035. In addition, participants also discussed other matters in the transfer market with Pini Zahavi.

Rashford is one of the main options for Barcelona's assessment this summer, with others including Luis Dias. Louis Dias will have much higher transfer costs, while Rashford may join in the form of a loan + buyout option and is willing to cut his salary significantly.

Manchester United does not rely on Rashford, but hopes to set a mandatory buyout clause in the deal for next summer. This may discourage Barcelona, as Barcelona hopes that the terms are optional to avoid risks.

But it is certain that Rashford is very eager to join Barcelona. He has made more and more moves to show kindness to Barcelona, including public interviews, praising Yamal and following several players in Barcelona's first-team team on personal social media.

Frick has a positive attitude towards Rashford, especially the versatility of players on the offensive end. Rashford can compete in any of the three frontcourt positions and has experience competing at the highest level of events.
