Marcus Rashford is close to finalising his move to Barcelona but the unwanted Manchester United forward has had to take a big pay cut to facilitate the deal.

Marcus Rashford is closing in on a dream transfer to Barcelona but the deal will come with a significant hit on his bank balance.

Rashford is set to undergo his medical in Barcelona after arriving in Spanish city on Sunday and he will sign a one-year loan deal with the option to buy.

That works out to a round €14 million gross (£12 million), including bonuses, for Rashford at Barcelona, which is a massive reduction on his salary at United but it is the lengths he was willing to go to secure his dream move to Spain.

Rashford will now hope that the formalities of his deal will be completed seamlessly in Spain so that he can join Hansi Flick’s side as soon as possible for pre-season.

His deal at Barcelona also includes an option to buy for €30 million although it is not mandatory for the Spanish club but will see United save £17 million on the wage bill in the 2025-26 season.

Rashford is among players coach Ruben Amorim has told to look for new clubs, the others being Alejandro Garnacho, Antony, Tyrell Malacia and Jadon Sancho.
