A major breakthrough has been reached in Marcus Rashford’s transfer saga, with Barcelona reaching an agreement in principle with Manchester United for a season-long loan deal.
According to Sky Sports, Barcelona submitted an official loan bid on Saturday morning, and a general agreement between the clubs is now in place. This is the move the English forward has been determined to make, having rejected interest from several other top clubs to wait for Barcelona.
Discussions are now focusing on the final details of the deal. The two clubs are negotiating the portion of Rashford’s significant salary that Barcelona will cover during the loan spell. They are also discussing a potential compensation fee that Barça would pay if they decide not to exercise their option to buy the player permanently next summer.
Marcus Rashford is now on the verge of securing his desired move. Once the final financial points are resolved, the loan transfer is expected to be completed.
