If you thought that Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck had an on-off-relationship, wait until you dive into the topsy-tearing story of Marcus Rashford and his childhood love, Lucia Loi.
The love story of the couple has had more turns than Nemesis Inferno.
Last month the sun reported that the exile of Manchester United was again inflamed with his former flame after completing his dream movement to the Spanish giant Barcelona.
After Ruben Amorim had released Rashford last season and left him in the so-called 'Bomb Squad' of United after a short enchantment in Aston Villa, the 27-year-old decided to make an important change of life by packing his bags and moving to Catalonia.
The winger will spend a year, at least, away from his family and friends in Manchester while taking on a new challenge in Barcelona, ​​one that has felt too late after the long fall of his career at Boyhood Club United.
Rashford claimed that it feels 'as if I am at home' when he was revealed by the LaLiga champions in July; However, reports have suggested that it is not entirely the case when it comes to life away from the field.
It is believed that he contacted his ex-feloever, Lucia, to ask if she could help him settle in his new life in Spain because she would have a calming influence he feels during this period of change in his life.
The duo would be reunited during a photo shoot before he was welcomed in the Barcelona family on July 23 in the Barcelona family, which was attended by his family and the press.
The news of their new romance comes two years after the couple announced that they had split, just a year after they had engaged.
The couple met at Ashton at Mersey School in Greater Manchester, where they were both students, and started dating when they were only 15 years old, while Rashford flourished in the Academy of Man United.
Lucia was Rashford's rock during his rise to star, with the relationship flourished while in February 2016 he expanded the football scene on the football scene with a brace in back-to-back matches against FC Midtjylland and Arsenal.
While Rashford went into force at United and was not to be dealt with in the early years of his senior career, their relationship did that too. However, when the COVID-19 Pandemie brought the world to a stop, things started to change.
After being together for eight years, the couple separated in 2021, because the world still felt the effects of Lockdown.
The breakdown of the relationship had a serious effect on Rashford's performance on the field. After having had a fantastic season under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer prior to the collapse, so that 39 targets during the 2020-21 campaign fell considerably.
During the 2021-22 season, Rashford only played a hand in seven goals. He was injured for parts of that campaign; However, a contributing factor for the reduction of his minutes was his shape. The wing player was based on one of the first names on the team schedule to watch games of the bank in double fast time.
However, that didn't last. Everything changed better when Rashford yielded his relationship with Lucia in January 2022, and as a few seemed stronger than ever.
Only five months later, Rashford introduced his childhood love with an engagement ring of £ 250,000 during an outing after the season in California.
Reports at the time suggested that Rashford had already planned the proposal for weeks and had put the demand for Lucia in a lush villa after they shared a romantic meal in Celebrity Seafood Restaurant Catch La.
Coincidentally, Rashford was on fire on the field immediately after Rashford was engaged. The attacker noted 30 goals during the first campaign by Erik ten Hag at the helm, a song that he had never managed before.
His goals helped United to win the Carabao Cup, while he also secured a rather respectable third place in the Premier League.
Rashford seemed as if he led the perfect life, both on and outside the field.
However, it all came down after just 13 months, with the couple called it together after a decade. It was a mutual decision when the couple mentioned that “the relationship had its course.”
The announcement came at a time when the now Barca star has since been spotted with a number of girls in a night out in Miami, Florida, and was seen returning with one of the group to his hotel obtained by the sun at 5 o'clock. Subsequently, it was revealed that it was divided for a few months before it was made public.
A source told Daily Mail from the split: 'Marcus and Lucia have not been together for a few months. It is nothing complicated; The relationship has set its course and they remain very good friends and have a lot of mutual respect for each other. '
'Marcus is laser -oriented in the next phase of his football career and puts all his focus on it. He is about to come back to the UK after a successful journey that children coaches in Miami, and goes to the England training camp this week. '
Rashford was then romantically linked to Love Island -participant Grace Jackson, who is now loved by colleague -reality star Luca Bish -who she met at the All -STARS version of the show -but their rumors brutal before the end of 2023.
And by chance, again, when Lucia was no longer Rashford's partner in crime, his versions fell dramatically.
The wing player went from bangs in goals left, right and in the middle of Old Trafford as the most important man of Ten Hag to endure a dry spell so badly that he lost his place in the first XI of the Red Devils. In the 2023-24 campaign, he only achieved eight goals in all competitions.
Nevertheless, outside the field, even when the football player was no longer romantic with Lucia, he still had her there for support. It is understanding that they stayed friends, even when their engagement came to an end.
The band never bumped. It is believed that they always remained in contact and rebuild their connection over time.
And now the rebuild is apparently complete; They are another item. It was reported that Lucia came to Rashford in Barcelona, ​​took the photo of the attacker and then checked his outfit before posing next to a traditional red telephone box for his announcement video.
Reports claim that those closest to Rashford say that Lucia has a huge impact on the happiness of Rashford.
According to Tribuna.com, he feels the most 'focused and well -founded' with Lucia by his side; She calms him in the times that her is tough and has a positive impact on his life.
So the fact that they are again good news for Fans of Barcelona. Based on the periods of his career in which he went to Lucia, they can expect the winger in England to find the back of the net relative regularity.
