According to The Athletic, Rashford wanted to join Barcelona in January and now he has finally got what he wants.
Rashford has gone to Barcelona, and Barcelona has reached an agreement with Manchester United on a one-year loan agreement. Manchester United has approved Rashford to go to Barcelona to start a new chapter in his career. The deal includes a buyout option.
As early as January this year, when Rashford confirmed that he would leave this summer, he regarded Barcelona as his ideal next home, and this wish is about to come true.
During the entire loan period, Barcelona will fully bear Rashford's salary, while Manchester United completely eliminated the player from the payroll.
Barcelona head coach Frick has communicated with Rashford and approved his joining. Barcelona has been looking for an attacker who can play on the wing and be competent for the front line, especially the left winger. This position seemed very stretched at the end of last season, so it became a priority to strengthen the direction.
Rashford originally planned to play for Manchester United throughout his career, but this time he was loaned to Barcelona on multiple levels. The introduction of Rashford by temporary loan will also help Barcelona respond flexibly in the current financial difficulties.
