Barcelona inched closer to clinching the La Liga crown after a solid 2-0 win against Getafe. The Catalan giants left the Coliseum with an 11-point cushion over rivals Real Madrid, courtesy of a first-half goal from Fermin and a crucial second-half finish from Marcus Rashford.

For Rashford, that goal was more than just another strike. He's in the middle of a pivotal season, aiming to secure his long-term future at Camp Nou. The English forward now boasts 13 goals and 11 assists across 2,347 minutes this campaign, producing a direct impact on the score sheet every 98 minutes. These numbers underline his importance to the team and his ambition to keep the momentum going as the season wraps up.

Reports from Mundo Deportivo highlight Rashford's clear commitment to remaining in Barcelona. He reportedly has no plans to return to Manchester United, the club that owns his rights. In fact, his determination runs deep — he’s ready to accept a pay cut if Barcelona opts to activate the €30 million option to make his loan move permanent.

That said, Barcelona's financial constraints pose a hurdle. The club appreciates Rashford's contributions and professionalism but remains uncertain if they can afford the transfer fee. Should a permanent deal not come through, the Blues might try to extend the loan for the 29-year-old, who is eager to settle his future before the upcoming World Cup.
