Manchester United centurion Marcus Rashford will reportedly complete a permanent move to Catalonia in the summer after the club reached an agreement with FC Barcelona to resolve the permanent transfer clause on his current loan deal.
Per Spanish outlet Mundo Deportivo, Barca will pay the 30m transfer fee in 10m installments over three years to retain the services of the England wide forward. There may still be a financial hiccup over personal terms as the club looks to fit Rashford’s wages into the La Liga financial fair play rules, but the fee is no longer an issue.

Rashford left United after 10 seasons with the senior team, rising from the ranks of the academy as a local lad and bursting onto the scene in 2016 with debut goals in the Europa League and Premier League. He would go on to win two EFL Cups, two FA Cups and the UEFA Europa League with United, scoring 138 goals in 426 appearances in all competitions.
Rashford first departed on loan to Aston Villa a year ago after new manager Ruben Amorim, the INEOS leadership, and the player made it clear that things were not going to work out between them. He joined Barcelona on loan in the summer and has 10 goals and 13 assists in 34 appearances for the Catalan giants.
