Rashford in Spain to finalise Barca loan move | OneFootball

Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford is currently in Spain to finalise a season-long loan transfer to Barcelona.

The 27-year-old touched down in Catalonia on Sunday evening, having received the green light from United to complete the necessary steps of his switch to the La Liga side.

Photos of Rashford stepping off a private aircraft in Barcelona quickly made the rounds on social media.

Negotiations between the two clubs advanced rapidly over the past few days, culminating in a provisional agreement being reached over the weekend.

United have since authorised the move, which will see Rashford join on an initial year-long loan, with a purchase clause included.

Rashford has favoured a move to Barcelona ever since announcing in December his desire for a fresh start, following his omission from the squad by United boss Ruben Amorim.

This marks Rashford’s second loan in as many seasons, following a short-term spell with Aston Villa during the latter half of the previous campaign.

He is expected to undergo a medical with Barcelona early this week, with the aim of joining their pre-season tour in Japan and South Korea, which begins on Thursday.
