Marcus Rashford: Massive Pay Cut Awaiting Manchester United Outcast at Barcelona
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.
Barca has agreed to cover Rashford's £325,000 weekly salary in full during the loan period. He could potentially reside in the same glamorous neighborhood as football legends Lionel Messi and Ronaldinho, and would also be offered a company car, although perhaps not as extravagant as his personal collection.
Life in the Catalan Capital

Most of Barcelona's elite reside in Bellamar, an exclusive enclave nestled in the Castelldefels hills. This is where Lionel Messi lived for many years in a £12.5 million mansion. He later purchased his neighbor's house as well, according to former teammate Ivan Rakitic. Due to environmental regulations, there's a no-fly zone over the Castelldefels suburbs.
This fashionable area is situated along the Spanish coastline, about 12 miles from Camp Nou and five miles from the Joan Gamper training ground.
Barcelona's new number 10, Lamine Yamal, lives a short drive away in Sant Joan Despí, having recently moved out of the La Masia youth academy. Ronaldinho, Luis Suarez, and Philippe Coutinho also called Bellamar home during their time at Barcelona.

Barcelona offers a rich culinary scene, from traditional Spanish tapas and fresh seafood paella to healthy gazpacho. Barcelona players are often seen dining at Michelin-starred restaurants. The team's Christmas party is often held at Via Veneto, and Messi frequented Estimar and the world-renowned Disfrutar.
In Manchester, Rashford drives a top-of-the-line Range Rover Velar, and has also been seen with Rolls-Royce models. In Barcelona, he would likely receive a company car worth at least £55,000, as part of the club's deal with SEAT CUPRA.
