As a result, the club has begun a broader evaluation of the squad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the players to come under heavy criticism is Marcus Rashford, who struggled to make an impact in both matches and failed to fill the void left by Raphinha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to El Nacional, Barcelona have reached a final decision not to activate the option to buy Rashford, whose loan spell from Manchester United is set to expire at the end of the current season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The report adds that sporting director Deco made the club\u2019s stance clear following the Atl\u00e9tico Madrid tie, confirming that even a reduced transfer fee would not alter the decision to send the player back to Manchester United.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Barcelona reportedly believe Rashford does not fit into the club\u2019s long-term project and has not demonstrated the required level to remain part of the squad. From a sporting perspective, the club is seeking certainty\u2014something they feel Rashford has not been able to provide.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Barcelona\u2019s painful elimination from the UEFA Champions League at the hands of Atl\u00e9tico Madrid is already having a significant impact on the club\u2019s sporting plans, with major decisions being made behind the scenes.
