Rashford has the chance to meet old friends. |
According to Marca , Rashford arrived in Spain to complete the transfer on July 21. The English striker underwent a medical examination and was even said to have filmed a video introducing himself to the Catalan club.
Insider sources said Rashford had a meeting with his new teammates on the morning of July 22, but Barcelona decided to wait for the signing procedures to be completed before releasing images of the new English player.
Once the deal is confirmed by both Manchester United and Barcelona, Rashford will be able to join the club's pre-season tour of South Korea, which will include three friendlies, including a clash with FC Seoul, Lingard's club.
Lingard joined FC Seoul in early 2024, making 49 appearances, scoring 12 goals and providing 6 assists. Rashford and Lingard are close friends, having played together at Manchester United from 2016 to 2022, making 134 appearances together and playing together for England in 18 matches.
In addition to the match against FC Seoul, Barcelona will also face Vissel Kobe and Daegu FC on this tour. However, although he can participate in the friendlies, Rashford is not guaranteed a place in La Liga by coach Hansi Flick.
Barcelona are stuck with a domestic wage cap, forcing the team to offload some first-team players to make room for Rashford.
