Barcelona made the arrival of Marcus Rashford official as a new reinforcement for the 2025-2026 season.
After discarding Luis Díaz's option – by whom Liverpool demanded a sum considered unfeasible – the Catalan club opted for the English striker, who comes from playing loan in Aston Villa after losing prominence in Manchester United.
The agreement includes an assignment with purchase option set at 30 million euros by June 2026 and a salary cut of 15%, without United contributions in its file.
“I feel at home”: Rashford
In his presentation, Rashford was excited with his new destination. “Barcelona is a club where people's dreams come true,” he said.
The attacker, who will carry the number 14, added that what Barça represents was key to his decision: “I feel at home, I am entering a family.”
Despite his departure from the Giant of England, he had no reproaches towards the 'Red Devils': “I have nothing wrong to say about Manchester United. It was an important part of my life and I wish them the best.”
The arrival of Rashford closes at the moment the search for Barcelona in that position, while Bayern Munich remains the only club that maintains firm interest in signing Luis Díaz.
The Colombian, a priority objective until a few weeks ago, is still on the radar of the market, but with a price that only few can pay.
