BARCELONA are ready to officially sign Manchester United’s out-of-favour star Marcus Rashford in quite a bargain deal.
, 27, fell out of favour under United manager Ruben Amorim in November and spent the second half of last season on loan at Aston Villa.
The versatile forward was then with other outcasts at Carrington after the first team had left the facility.
According to Mundo Deportivo , however, the England international has been given a way out of his Man Utd hell by joining Barca - a dream move he has been pushing for all summer.
The same source claims the Blaugrana and the Red Devils have for Rashford and an official announcement is expected for Wednesday.
And the deal includes a tiny buyout clause that the Catalan giants could trigger if they wish to hold on to the academy graduate next year.
Rashford would only cost a mere £26million if manager Hansi Flick gave the green light for the activation of his release clause.
That is significantly less than what he was previously valued at during his heyday at Old Trafford.
CIES four years ago, which made him the most valuable player in the world along with Erling Haaland at the time.
But the winger’s value significantly dropped ever since 2023, just a few months after a stunning campaign that saw him notching a staggering total of 30 goals and 12 assists in 56 appearances.
Rashford has since been unable to replicate that form and seriously struggled under former United boss Erik ten Hag as well as his successor Amorim.
Man Utd would have to take a major pay cut to let their once-prized asset leave next year.
But Barcelona will reportedly cover all of Rashford’s £325,000-a-week wages to bring him to LaLiga.
That agreement will save the Manchester giants around £15m in wages, which is key for Amorimas he looks to overhaul the squad on a budget.
