Rashford set for Barcelona switch as loan agreement reached

The La Liga giants are preparing to schedule medical tests in the coming days, pending final confirmation of the deal's finer details. The agreement will see Rashford join Barcelona on an initial loan, with an option to buy included in the structure.

Final terms are currently being ironed out, and once complete, Manchester United are expected to give the green light for the forward to travel to Spain.

The move marks a significant development in the forward's career as he seeks a fresh start following a challenging season at Old Trafford. Barcelona, meanwhile, see the 27-year-old as a versatile attacking reinforcement as they reshape their squad ahead of the new campaign.

While the buy option remains undisclosed, the nature of the deal offers Barcelona flexibility, allowing them to assess Rashford's fit before committing long-term. An official announcement could follow swiftly once the medical has been completed.
