Barcelona have reportedly reached an agreement with Manchester United over the signing of Marcus Rashford.
Talks are ongoing over a loan move with an option to buy, and according to The Athletic, the forward is expected to join imminently.
Rashford publicly said he would like to play for Barcelona earlier this summer. When asked by a Spanish influencer if he would like to play alongside Lamine Yamal, Rashford said: “Yes, for sure. Everyone wants to play with the best. Hopefully… we’ll see.”
Spanish champions Barcelona looked set to sign Spain winger Nico Williams earlier this summer.
However, the 22-year-old signed a new 10-year contract at Athletic Bilbao. Rashford spent the second half of last season on loan at Aston Villa, where he made 17 appearances across all competitions, scoring four goals and providing six assists.
He is one of five United players – and the highest paid – told to train separately from Amorim’s squad amid a stand-off over their futures.
The 27-year-old does not believe he will play for United again while Amorim is at the club.
