It’s official—Marcus Rashford is a Barcelona player. The English winger has signed on loan until June 2026, with a purchase option set at €35 million, according to Catalan media.
From backup plan to top priority. After missing out on Nico Williams (who renewed at Athletic Bilbao) and Luis Díaz (kept by Liverpool), Barça turned to a long-standing target approved by Hansi Flick. Rashford, lacking playing time at Manchester United despite a solid loan spell at Aston Villa, was on the lookout for a new challenge—and the timing was perfect.
A smart move by Barça, but a risk
The 27-year-old signed his contract on Wednesday afternoon, alongside president Joan Laporta and club executives. Highly valued for his versatility, Rashford strengthens a Barça attack that lacked depth.

For Rashford, this is a golden chance to revive his career ahead of the 2026 World Cup. For Barça, it’s a calculated risk—with high potential rewards. One to watch closely.
