Marcus Rashford has publicly expressed his desire to extend his stay at Barcelona after helping guide the LaLiga giants to another title.
The England star scored a stunning free kick to help Barcelona to a 2-0 win over arch rivals Real Madrid in El Clasico on Sunday night as Hansi Flick’s side confirmed their status as Spanish champions.
Rashford, 28, has enjoyed a fruitful season in Catalonia after being cast aside by former Man United boss Ruben Amorim following an explosive falling out at Old Trafford.
The Manchester-born forward joined Barcelona on loan and the Spanish club have the option to secure Rashford’s services on a permanent basis this summer.
However, there is uncertainty as to whether the move will go through despite Rashford impressing Barcelona bosses, with the LaLiga club looking to renegotiate the pre-agreed £26million transfer fee when he initially made the loan move.

After Sunday’s win, Rashford told reporters he is desperate to stay at the Nou Camp.
‘I don’t know. I am not a magician, but if I was, I would stay. So we will see,’ Rashford said.
‘It’s really good. I come here to win,’ he added. ‘So this is, I want to win as many things as I can. So, this is one more to add to this.
‘Yeah, this team is a wonderful team. They’re going to win so much in the future as well. So, to be a part of that would be special. So we will see.’
Barca boss Flick expressed his delight with Rashford’s contributions – 14 goals and 14 assists – this campaign.
‘I’m very happy with Marcus,’ he said. ‘He has shown his quality and he scored an important goal. I can’t say anything about his future, we have to focus on the matches until the end of the season.’
