Rashford will be a Barcelona player next season. The club has reached an agreement with the player himself and Manchester United. Only some details and the final confirmation of the contract remain pending. The player will join on loan, with a €35 million buyout option.
In recent days, this move has accelerated. Due to the problems Barcelona encountered in signing Luis Díaz, they opted for Rashford. Barcelona realized that signing Díaz would be extremely difficult, and even if the deal were to go through, it would only be completed at the very end of the transfer window. For this reason, the club decided to proceed with the deal for Rashford.、
Barcelona's negotiations with Rashford have been in advanced stages, as he has long agreed to take a significant pay cut to join Barça. His annual salary in Manchester is €18 million, and Barcelona has no intention of paying that amount. The player's willingness to reduce his salary has opened the door for the deal.
The second key factor is Manchester United's agreement to the loan. Initially, they wanted a permanent transfer, but Barcelona pushed for a loan with a €35 million buyout option. At first, United wanted €50 million, but Barcelona ultimately managed to negotiate the price down to €35 million.
