It’s official — Marcus Rashford has completed a stunning transfer to Barcelona in a deal confirmed by Fabrizio Romano. The English forward’s move to the Camp Nou ends weeks of speculation surrounding his Manchester United future.
However, Romano has revealed that the transfer didn’t come easy. Behind the scenes, several Premier League clubs had made late approaches to hijack the deal, but Rashford’s preference for a fresh challenge abroad proved decisive.
Barcelona view Rashford as a crucial addition to their attacking project, with Xavi personally endorsing the move. The forward is expected to be unveiled this week as the Catalan club’s latest marquee signing.
