Marcus Rashford has officially joined Barcelona on loan from Manchester United after lengthy speculation surrounding his future, www.naijnaira.com reports.
As per SPORT, the deal includes a €30 million option to buy at the end of the 2025/26 season, giving Barcelona flexibility if Rashford performs well.
The 27-year-old took a 30% wage reduction to push the transfer through, after Manchester United refused to contribute to his wages during the loan.
Now set to earn £12 million, around €13.8 million, Rashford made it clear he’s willing to sacrifice for the opportunity to play at Camp Nou.
“I was going to wait as long as it took,” he told the press, making his determination obvious during his first public appearance in Barcelona colors.
He praised the club’s ambitions, saying, “Barça is a big club in the world of football, and it’s the perfect place to win titles.”
Barcelona sees this deal as low-risk and potentially high-reward, with a proven talent coming in at reduced cost.
Rashford will line up alongside Lamine Yamal, Raphinha, and Lewandowski in a frontline packed with pace, power, and experience.
His mentality, willingness to adapt, and eagerness to succeed under Hansi Flick align with Barça’s ongoing rebuild strategy.
With the deal sealed and expectations rising, all eyes are on how Rashford will perform in La Liga this season.
