FC Barcelona is preparing to confirm the imminent arrival of Marcus Rashford after concluding a loan agreement with Manchester United.
While the saga continues in the United Kingdom and Spain, the latest information indicates that FC Barcelona has entered into an agreement to recruit Rashford, the 27-year-old striker arriving in Catalonia as part of a season loan with a purchase option, estimated between 30 and 35 million euros.
Barcelona focused more on the recruitment of Rashford last week, after a mixed summer on the transfer market.
Rashford will replace Raphinha on the left side of Barcelona's attack, after the club previously tried to recruit Nico Williams and Luis Diaz.
Paul Pogba, intervened to support Rashford.
He should arrive in Catalonia and pass his medical examination before signing all the necessary documents in the coming days to finalize his transfer.
Hansi Flick hopes to be able to include Rashford in its workforce for the pre-season tour in Japan and South Korea, but that remains uncertain at this stage.
Marcus Rashford is talking a lot
Despite its current financial difficulties, Barcelona is ready to finance the transfer of Rashford. According to the Times, the club would cover all of its weekly salary of 325,000 pounds sterling as part of the loan.
His departure from Manchester seemed certain since the start of the summer, but his former teammate to United, Paul Pogba, intervened to support Rashford.
Pogba recently returned to football after a suspension, joining AS Monaco, and the Frenchman believes that the treatment reserved for Rashford by the Red Devils was unfair throughout the year.
« It's a crazy situation. But I am happy for him because they removed his number in Manchester “He said.
“Manchester United loses a great player. It is unfortunate for them. It's great for Barcelona, to be honest. I'm not even talking about United because they bought some new players and the new manager wants to do his job, I suppose. »»
