POLL: Is Marcus Rashford an ideal winger for Barça?

The FC Barcelona board hopes to close the signing of Marcus Rahsford soon. English media and journalist Fabrizio Romano confirm a pre-agreement with the player, who will arrive in Catalonia in the next few hours to pass the medical examination. The Englishman will sign for one year, on loan and with a non-mandatory purchase option.

Doubts regarding Liverpool's intention not to lower their economic aspirations for Luis Díaz, have finally tipped the balance in favor of the Manchester United striker, who agreed to significantly lower his salary to facilitate his departure from Old Trafford.

In his loan to Aston Villa, the 27-year-old also reduced his emoluments by approximately two-thirds (20 million annually). Although the winger's performance has declined in the last two seasons, Hansi Flick is confident in recovering his best version, although Rashford will not be an undisputed starter from the start.

In 24/25, Marcus scored 11 goals and 8 assists in 41 games, far from his peak in 22/23 (30G/9A). After losing his place in the United squad, the English international knows that, if he wants to be in the next World Cup with his national team, he must have a great year with Barça. Will he be able to earn a starting spot? In principle, he will fight hand in hand with Olmo and Fermín for a place in the XI.
