Barcelona is about to make Marcus Rashford their third signing of the summer, with a deal that has been agreed with Manchester United. The international English international will travel to Catalonia in the coming hours, with a view to his arrival before he was confirmed before Hansi's Squad Jet goes to East Asia for their tour for the season.
In the last 24 hours, Barcelona has taken their step for Rashford and Man United has allowed to make a deal. He will participate in a seasonal loan with an option to buy, which is considered a very favorable deal for the Catalans.
And the good work of sports director Deco continues, because Marca has been confirmed that Barcelona will have the option to sign Rashford for € 35 million next summer, which is much less than expected.
Man United initially only considered a sale, but after Rashford made it clear that he only wanted Barcelona, they accepted a loan with an option to buy. And although they want the buy clause to be € 50 million, Deco was able to lower the value to € 35 million, making it much more affordable to stay permanently in Catalonia from 2026.
The upcoming arrival of Rashford means that Barcelona has solved their left wing problem, which means that Luis Diaz will almost certainly no longer be an option that is being investigated. There is still a small chance that he can participate, but it would require significant deviations, since he could not be registered.
Joan Garcia, Roony Bardghji and Rashford are three very good additions for Barcelona, which is still expected to sign at least one player – although further arrivals would depend on the sale, as stated. The priority would add its depth to the defense, whereby the full-back positions are particularly light.
