Gary Neville, the Manchester United legend and Sky Sports pundit, has strongly criticised Barcelona\u2019s attempts to renegotiate the buy-back clause for English striker Marcus Rashford, describing the Catalan club\u2019s behaviour as unacceptable.<\/p>\n
Speaking on the podcast \u201cStick to Football\u201d, Neville said: \u201cRashford moved to Barcelona, played over 40 games, scored 11 goals and provided more than 10 assists; he looked dangerous once again. The player deserves credit; he has certainly regained his form.\u201d<\/p>\n
He then turned to the transfer fee, stating in a sharp tone: \u201cBut now Barcelona want to say they can\u2019t pay the full agreed sum of \u00a326 million? That\u2019s ridiculous!\u201d<\/p>\n
The Red Devils legend continued: \u201cManchester United loaned him out at a time when the club desperately needed to, and included a very reasonable clause in the contract. Rashford performed well, his market value rose slightly, and suddenly they want to haggle? No, that is unacceptable.\u201d<\/p>\n

He then delivered a blunt message to his former club: \u201cUnited must stand firm. End this farce. This is how Barcelona operate in every window. If you want the player, pay what you agreed or send him back\u2014it\u2019s that simple.\u201d<\/p>\n
Rashford joined Barcelona on loan with a mandatory \u00a326 million buy-out clause, a move designed to reignite his career after a recent dip in form at United.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Gary Neville, the Manchester United legend and Sky Sports pundit, has strongly criticised Barcelona\u2019s attempts to renegotiate the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":203,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[92,264,263,265],"class_list":{"0":"post-328","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-barcelona","8":"tag-barcelona","9":"tag-m-rashford","10":"tag-manchester-united","11":"tag-transfers"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/328","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=328"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/328\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/203"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=328"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=328"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=328"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
