Barcelona closes a deal to bring Marcus Rashford to the club after new conversations with Manchester United.
Widespread reports during the last 48 hours in the UK and Spain indicated that Barcelona agreed to sign Rashford from United. The 27-year-old attacker in Catalonia arrives at a seasonal loan with an option to buy, which is assumed to be in the region of € 30-35 million.
Barcelona has performed last week after a mixed summer on the transfer market last week.
Rashford offers essential coverage on the left wing for Barcelona, after the club had previously chased deals for Nico Williams and Luis Diaz.
He is expected to fly to Catalonia in particular and will then complete his medical and sign all suitable documents in the coming days –
If the process goes just as smoothly as the club hopes, Hansi Flick can incorporate him into his team for their pre-season tour through Japan and South Korea.
An important source of excitement for Barcelona is the speculation about what Rashford will wear with Mundo Deportivo who claims that he has three choices: 14, 19 and 22-this is because registered players of the first team can only choose from numbers 1-25.
The deal reached an essential climax after a new discussion round between the two clubs and an important concession from Barcelona.
Despite their continuous financial issues, Barcelona is willing to bank roles a move for Rashford, and reports from the Times claim that they will cover its full wages as part of the loan.
The Red Devils had set their position on demanding a 100% coverage at the beginning of the summer, but Barcelona had previously rejected that.
A step closer to the requirements of United was seen as the only route to complete an agreement and Rashford has been sealed his dream movement.
