Barcelona will make Marcus Rashford their third summer signing, with a deal closed with Manchester United. The International of England will participate in a seasonal loan with an option to make the move permanent at the end of the 2025-26 campaign.
It is said that Rashford has made it clear that he only wanted Barcelona, and with the La Liga champions that have passed from Luis Diaz because of the asking price of Liverpool, they quickly completed an agreement with Man United.
Rashford will soon go to Catalonia for medical tests, and he is expected to be confirmed on time to participate in Hansi Flick's team for the pre-season Tour through Japan and South Korea, which will start next week.
Barcelona will still have to register Rashford upon his arrival, which will not be easy to do, since they also have to do the same for Joan Garcia, who came to Espanyol at the beginning of July. But their efforts to do this are made easier.
As reported by David Ornstein, Barcelona will pay 100% of Rashford's wage during his loan saying, which was crucial in Man United who gave the green light to the deal. But they only agreed because the 27-year-old decided to reduce his salary by 30%, according to sport.
Everything in, Rashford earns € 18 million per season at Man United, but according to Ben Jacobs, Barcelona takes around € 10 million on his arrival, where the Premier League side does not pay any of his wages. This sacrifice will make it easier for the Catalans to register it at La Liga, although the work has to be done in this respect to realize it.
Barcelona will now start selling players to ensure that Garcia and Rashford can play on the first matchday of the La Liga season 2025-26, which starts in less than four weeks.
