Every Englishman to have played for Barcelona
Rashford is set to finalise a loan move to Spain this week, which will include a €30m purchase option.
The 27-year-old is set to become the 12th Englishman to represent Barcelona, but the first since the turn of the millennium and only the second in over 100 years.
Gary Lineker remains the most high-profile Englishman to have played for the Catalans, after moving to the Camp Nou from Everton in 1986. Lineker had scored 40 goals for Everton the previous season before winning the World Cup Golden Boot that summer.
After moving to La Liga, Lineker scored 52 goals in 138 games for Barcelona, including an El Clásico hat-trick against Real Madrid. He won the Copa del Rey and European Cup Winners' Cup during his time with Barcelona.
Another Englishman, Jack Greenwell, also holds a piece of Barcelona history. Greenwell spent five seasons with the club as a player and a decade as manager. After initially taking the reins as player-coach, he became Barcelona's longest-serving manager between 1913 and 1923, twice winning the Copa del Rey.
In 2018, former Arsenal midfielder Marcus McGuane became the first Englishman to play for Barcelona's first team in 29 years. However, McGuane's appearance came in a Catalan Super Cup friendly against local rivals Espanyol.

Watch: New Barcelona signing continues to impress in pre-season training
La Liga giants Barcelona have unveiled a fresh round of footage of new signing Joan García in action in training. And the footage, as has proven the case since his arrival, is of an altogether impressive nature. Goalkeeper Joan is for his part of course fresh off taking the biggest step of his career to date. Following a dazzling campaign between the posts at Espanyol, the 24-year-old blocked out the outside noise, to put pen to paper on terms with Catalan rivals Barcelona. Joan is expected to slot straight in as the Blaugrana's new no.1 for next season, usurping both Wojciech Szczęsny, and Marc-André ter Stegen. And as alluded to above, his exploits at The Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper over the last 24 hours have continued to turn heads. This comes with Joan having conjured up another round of stellar saves during a training drill, as showcased across Barcelona's social media platforms: Conor Laird – GSFN

Real Madrid have reportedly added Inter Milan long-serving stalwart Nicolo Barella to their list of Toni Kroos replacements. According to Spanish news outlet AS via FCInterNews, the diminutive midfielder is one of three potential candidates for the role. Despite his long-term absence due to a nasty knee injury, Manchester City's Rodri remains the top priority. However, convincing Pep Guardiola to give up his talisman could prove rather tricky. Therefore, Los Blancos have set their sights on several other elite stars. Real Madrid Keen to Sign Inter Milan Ace Nicolo Barella Nicolo Barella is one of the names in Florentino Perez's notebook. In addition to the ex-Cagliari midfielder, Alexis Mac Allister and Enzo Fernandez are also in contention. However, all players have long-term contracts and are crucial to their clubs. As such, Real Madrid would likely have to make an irrefutable offer to sign any of them. Faced with the potential loss of Hakan Calhanoglu, Inter probably won't consider bids for Barella.
