Marcus Rashford has arrived in Barcelona to finalise a season-long loan move from Manchester United, with the Catalan side holding an option to buy for around €30 million.
The England forward, once touted as one of Europe’s brightest talents, joins a frontline already starring Lamine Yamal, Raphinha and Robert Lewandowski as Barcelona seeks fresh firepower after netting 102 league goals last season.
Throughout his 12-year United career, Rashford scored 138 goals in 429 appearances, lifting five major trophies. Yet after bursting onto the scene as a teen in 2016, he managed 20+ goals in just three campaigns and struggled to hit those heights recently.
In the past two seasons at Old Trafford, Rashford found the net just 15 times and added 4 goals in 17 outings on loan at Aston Villa. At 27, he now arrives at Camp Nou eager to reignite his form.
With Barcelona leading Europe in Champions League goals (43) before their semifinal exit, the club and its young forward will hope this wager unleashes a new chapter in Rashford’s journey—and helps Barcelona chase more silverware.
