Marcus Rashford contract details: How much will Man United forward earn after Barcelona transfer?

The England international is now set for a new challenge.

Marcus Rashford is set for a fresh challenge away from Old Trafford. FC Barcelona have reached a verbal agreement with Manchester United to recruit him on loan with a buy option.

After Ruben Amorim publicly criticised Rashford’s performances throughout training last season, Rashford lost his place at United. Moreover, after returning from a six-month loan at Aston Villa, he was listed for sale this summer.

Early in the window, Barcelona, the Catalan powerhouse, expressed interest. Negotiations for a one-year loan have now come to fruition with Barca planning for medical tests in the next days.

Marcus Rashford’s salary and contract details at Barcelona

The conditions of the agreement will see the Spanish team pay Rashford’s whole salary. It is estimated to be more than £325,000 a week. They are prepared for it despite their well-known financial difficulties.

However, he is anticipated to accept a pay reduction. During his time at Villa, three-quarters of his income was covered by Aston Villa. According to reports, Barcelona’s purchase option is worth €35 million (£30.3 million).

The forward, with whom Hansi Flick has had discussions, will provide much-needed depth on the left flank, where he will vie for playing time with former Leeds winger Raphinha. Additionally, he can fill in for Robert Lewandowski, a striker who is 36 years old.

The Blaugrana had an incredible 2024–25 season, winning the Copa del Rey and Supercopa de España before winning LaLiga with one game remaining.

What transpired after Rashford lost his place at United

After joining Villa in January, Marcus Rashford, who last played for United in December, started to play better. Before his season was ended by a hamstring injury, he scored four goals in 17 games.

Earlier this month, he was one of five United players who were exempted from preseason training in order to give them time to choose a new club.

Since enrolling in United’s academy in 2005, Marcus Rashford has gone on to win two FA Cups and the Europa League, scoring 138 goals in 426 first-team games.
