Marcus Rashford’s contract with Barcelona
The player arrives at the Camp Nou on loan, but with a purchase option that would be around 35 million euros.
The winger has been courting the Catalan club all summer and finally, the Blaugrana took the definitive step, where he will wear the number 14 shirt
It is the third addition of the summer after Joan Garcia, for whom they paid the release clause of 25 million plus Roony Bardghji, who has not yet decided whether to stay in the first team, reserve team or go out on loan, and now Rashford.

After Nico Williams refused to sign for Barcelona for the second summer in a row, when everything seemed tied up and closed, the Catalan club put two names on the table: Luis Diaz and Rashford
Liverpool, however, demanded high financial terms and United accepted a loan with an option to buy.
