Congratulations to Manchester United's prince Rashford! After being sidelined by Amorim, this England forward has finally achieved his wish to join Barcelona for the new season, aiming for championship glory. Previously, Italian journalist Romano confirmed the news of Rashford's loan to Barcelona with a buyout clause. Now, another Italian journalist, Skira, has exclusively revealed the contract details of Rashford's loan to Barcelona.
According to Skira: firstly, Rashford is joining Barcelona on loan for one year with a loan fee of €10 million. The buyout cost is €30 million plus €5 million in performance-related clauses, which will activate a mandatory buyout if certain conditions are met. If Barcelona successfully buys out Rashford, both parties will sign a three-year contract from 2026 to 2029. During his time at Barcelona, Rashford's annual salary will be €12 million.
Rashford possesses speed and shooting skills, capable of playing as a left winger or a center forward, which aligns perfectly with Flick's tactical requirements. After joining Barcelona, Rashford can serve as a rotation player for both Raphinha and Lewandowski, being able to play both positions. With Lewandowski now 36 years old and experiencing a decline in form, Rashford's move to Barcelona represents a great opportunity for a career resurgence, and Barcelona's possession style can provide Rashford with numerous scoring chances.
In my personal opinion, Rashford may have been lackadaisical at Manchester United, but from a technical standpoint, he actually fits very well with this Barcelona team. What do you think about this?
