Rashford's brilliant revival makes Barca laugh because of his 'cheap price'

Rashford is reviving strongly at Barcelona.

On the night of October 5, Rashford opened his La Liga account with a stunning volley against Sevilla, despite Barcelona's 1-4 defeat. Although the result left the defending champions 2 points behind Real Madrid after 8 rounds, Rashford's performance was considered a rare bright spot for the Catalan team.

Just a few months ago, Rashford was a victim of the reshuffle under manager Ruben Amorim at Manchester United. Left out of the tactical plan, the 27-year-old striker was forced to find a new destination to save his career. And Barcelona appeared as a savior, not only for Rashford, but also for the team itself, which was looking for more firepower on the left flank.

Since arriving at Camp Nou, Rashford has quickly adapted to Hansi Flick's footballing philosophy. He has scored two goals in the Champions League, contributed four assists and now scored in La Liga. This shows a strong revival of a player who was once expected to be the new symbol of Old Trafford.

In the 36th minute of the match against Sevilla, Rashford volleyed with his right foot after a cross from Raphinha, the ball went hard and dangerous, leaving goalkeeper Dmitrovic standing and watching. Barcelona then collapsed under the fierce counter-attack of the home team, but the goal was a confirmation that Rashford had found himself again.

Barcelona believe Rashford's £26m price tag is a bargain.

Notably, the transfer fee that Barcelona would have to pay to own Rashford, in case they decide to activate the buyout clause in the summer of 2026, is only about 26 million pounds. A number that makes President Joan Laporta "unbelievable".

"At his peak, Rashford is one of the best players in Europe. Barca have got a real bargain. In the current market, his value must exceed £60m," an insider said.

From a player who was questioned for his attitude and form in England, Rashford has now won over the Camp Nou crowd thanks to his explosive play and versatility. He can play as a striker, on the wing or behind the striker.

Barcelona certainly have work to do to defend their title, but Rashford's arrival has ushered in a new era, combining Premier League speed with Flick's German tactical discipline.

If he maintains this form, Rashford will not only save his career, but also force Manchester United to wonder whether they have hastily lost a star by accidentally handing Barcelona a rare bargain in European football?
