Barcelona will call Marcus Rashford as their third summer signing, with a deal that has been agreed with Manchester United. The attacker, who had been out of favor at the Premier League giants, has already introduced Catalonia for medical tests, which indicated that an announcement of his arrival will be made in the next 24/48 hours.
Rashford will join Barcelona for a seasonal loan agreement, where the Catalans have the option to sign it permanently in 2026. He arrives like the club's left wing, which was a priority for head coach Hansi Flick and sports director Deco.
The expectation is that Rashford will officially arrive at Barcelona on time to join his new teammates for their pre-season tour through Japan and South Korea, who will start later this week. And according to MD, it is intended that he will be presented to the media on Wednesday.
Initially, the idea that Rashford was unveiled on Thursday, but with planning a double training session for that day, the presentation is brought forward for 24 hours. It means that Barcelona supporters do not have to wait that long to see the 27-year-old the famous Blaugrana sweater adorning.
Signing Rashford is one thing, but the challenge for Barcelona is now to ensure that he can play for them in La Liga next season. He will not be registered on arrival, with considerable sale required before they can have him available to flicks for the opening match of the 2025-26 campaign.
Rashford was aware of the well -documented financial misery of Barcelona, but he didn't need a guarantee to participate. He believes that his new club can register him before the end of the summer, although it is said easier than done.
