Rashford cannot debut for Barcelona

Marcus Rashford is one step away from officially becoming a new player for Barcelona, as the contract has been signed but the official announcement is still pending.

Rashford almost became a Barcelona player

According to SPORT , Rashford signed a contract with Barcelona on the afternoon of July 22. However, Barcelona cannot officially announce it yet because they are waiting to complete some more paperwork with Manchester United, who are on their way to the US for a pre-season tour.

Rashford was originally scheduled to make his Barcelona debut on July 21, but the move was delayed due to paperwork from Manchester United. Although it has not been officially announced, Rashford has begun to settle into his new environment at Barcelona.

Earlier this week, he took part in a training session at the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper training centre. Rashford did not take part in full training sessions but attended tactical meetings, did some drills designed by the coaching staff and had the opportunity to meet his new team-mates.

Rashford joined Barcelona on loan from Manchester United, with an option to buy for €30m in the summer of 2026. Notably, Barcelona will pay Rashford's entire salary, but this income has been significantly reduced compared to the £325,000/week he previously received at Old Trafford.

According to El Pais , Rashford's new salary at Barcelona is around £180,000 a week (before tax), a huge financial sacrifice on the player's part to facilitate the deal. Both Rashford and Barcelona are hoping the deal will run until the 2025/26 season, but that depends entirely on his form on the pitch.
