Marcus Rashford lands in Barcelona ahead of imminent transfer

Rashford is already in Barcelona. The English striker, one of Barca's targets for this summer transfer window, is about to become a new Barca player for the 2025-26 campaign. Hansi Flick and his team are expecting great things from this new season.

As reported by 'Mundo Deportivo', the player left the East Midlands Airport, located 143 kilometres from the city of Manchester, an hour and a half behind the initial flight schedule. Finally, the Briton arrived early Sunday evening without any problems at one of the terminals of the Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport.

Some media gathered to greet Rashford and 'Jijantes' captured a picture of him at passport control. The club's security arrangements were extreme and the striker was driven away in a van. He is expected to undergo a medical on Monday before being unveiled on Tuesday. Barcelona fans are waiting for the confirmation of the signing after the fiascos of Luis Diaz and Nico Willams.

It should be remembered that the Athletic attacker was the priority and at the last minute everything went wrong with the renewal of the 'Lion'. For his part, the Colombian was also high on the list of candidates for a move, but the Catalan giants did not see the operation as viable in economic terms. Liverpool's asking price was 100 million, although it seems that Bayern, who are interested in the Colombian winger, could land him for less money.

In short, Barca are ready to add to their ranks a player with a great offensive vocation and who has a lot of character. Rashford has made a big effort to sign for the 'Cules', who will keep an option to buy for between 30 and 35 million euros. Fabrizo Romano has indicated that the Briton has accepted a 15% reduction in his salary. His salary will be 14 million euros gross plus bonus.
