English forward on a season-long loan from Manchester United. The deal includes an option to buy for around €30–35 million, and the Spanish giants will cover his full salary during the loan. In a gesture of commitment, Rashford agreed to take a wage cut to make the move happen.
After a difficult spell at Manchester United and a short loan stint at Aston Villa, Rashford was looking for a fresh start—and Barcelona offered the perfect opportunity. At Villa, he showed glimpses of his talent with 4 goals and 6 assists in just 17 appearances. Though Villa chose not to make the deal permanent, Barcelona saw enough promise to take the chance.
Rashford will wear the No. 14 jersey and adds valuable depth to Barca’s attacking lineup. Head coach Hansi Flick believes Rashford’s pace and versatility will be a strong asset alongside the likes of Lewandowski, Raphinha, and Lamine Yamal. His ability to play across the front line gives Flick more options as Barcelona aims to reclaim domestic and European glory.
This signing marks the club’s third major addition of the summer, as Barcelona look to rebuild under Flick’s leadership. Rashford arrives with a point to prove, and fans are eager to see if the Englishman can rediscover his best form in La Liga’s competitive atmosphere.
