Marcus Rashford’s search for a fresh challenge has brought him to sunny Spain, and straight into the heart of Barcelona’s summer plans.
The 27-year-old Manchester United forward landed in Catalonia on Sunday night, stepping off a private jet as cameras eagerly caught his arrival. With permission from United secured, Rashford is now set to finalise a season-long loan to the Spanish giants.
It’s been a fast-moving story. Negotiations between Barcelona and the Red Devils accelerated last week, with both clubs striking an agreement in principle over the weekend. United have now officially greenlit the deal, a 12-month loan with an option to buy.
For Rashford, Barcelona has always been the top choice. After falling out of favour with United boss Ruben Amorim, he made it clear back in December that he was ready for a new chapter. Now, he’s close to making that move a reality.
This will be Rashford’s second loan in a row, following his half-season spell with Aston Villa earlier this year. But this one feels different; bigger, riskier, and with a chance to reignite a career that needs a spark.
He’s expected to complete his medical in the coming days, with hopes of joining Barcelona’s pre-season tour of Japan and South Korea later this week.
And there’s a reunion on the cards, if all goes to plan, Rashford could face his old United teammate Jesse Lingard when Barça meet FC Seoul on July 31.
Big moves, big moments. For Rashford, this feels like a turning point.
