Barcelona confirm Marcus Rashford signing on season-long loan transfer
Barcelona have confirmed the signing of Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford on a season-long loan deal. The Athletic reported on Saturday that Barcelona had made an offer via intermediaries to loan Rashford for the upcoming season, with the proposal include an option to buy the forward permanently. The proposed transfer will see Barcelona covering the forward's full salary for the duration of the temporary switch. Advertisement Rashford travelled to Barcelona on Sunday after an agreement was reached between the two clubs. United gave the England international permission to fly to the Catalan capital to start the next chapter of his career while Barca head coach Hansi Flick spoke to the England international and approved his arrival. 📞 "Yeah… It's official."Rashford follows in Lineker's footsteps. — FC Barcelona (@FCBarcelona) July 23, 2025 Barcelona have been looking for an attacker who can operate in wide areas and up front, with left-wing considered a priority for the club after they felt they were short of options in that position towards the end of last season. Taking the forward on an initial temporary basis would also help Barcelona as they continue to navigate a difficult financial situation. Rashford spent the second half of last season on loan at Aston Villa, scoring four times in 17 appearances, but his spell in Birmingham was curtailed by a hamstring injury picked up in April. He missed the final four games of the campaign for Unai Emery's side, and was left out of Thomas Tuchel's most recent England squad for the fixtures against Andorra and Senegal. Rashford has been one of United's top earners at more than £325,000 per week, of which Villa covered three-quarters — in addition to performance-related bonuses — for the duration of his loan deal. The Athletic reported in January that the 27-year-old favoured a move to Barcelona, with sporting director Deco keeping close tabs on the forward. The Athletic reported on June 3 that Rashford's brother and agent, Dwaine Maynard, had been in the Catalan city for talks. Flick said earlier this summer he hoped to add wide forwards to his squad, with Lamine Yamal and Raphinha currently first-choice in the positions in Barca's 4-3-3 system. Advertisement The club agreed personal terms with Nico Williams before the Spain international opted instead to stay at Athletic Club and sign a new contract until 2035 while Liverpool knocked back an approach for Luis Diaz last month and insist the 28-year-old, who is also of interest to Bayern Munich, is not for sale. Rashford has not featured for United since the Europa League fixture against Viktoria Plzen on December 12, having first been left out of the squad by Ruben Amorim for the Premier League match against Manchester City on December 15. In an interview later in December, Rashford said he was 'ready for a new challenge' away from United. United have never publicly closed the door to Rashford being reintegrated, although he was one of five players given extra time to explore a move away by the club. Despite that, Rashford reported back to Carrington on July 8 and worked on an individual basis, not taking part in team training with the rest of Ruben Amorim's squad The United academy product has made 426 appearances for the club and scored 138 goals since his debut in 2015.
