Rashford joins Barcelona with "true love"! A salary cut of 30% + abstaining from registration guarantee, the Red and Blue Army forward welcomes a new ace?

1. The official countdown is announced! Rashford's "zero resistance" landed at Camp Nou

"This is my dream place!"

- Rashford's obsession with his personal statement finally ushered in the final chapter on July 20, 2025. According to authoritative media such as Romano and World Sports, Manchester United striker Rashford joined Barcelona in loan + selective buyout, with a lease period of one year (until June 2026), and the buyout clause is 30 million euros (can be floated to 35 million). The most important thing is: Barcelona does not need to pay the rental fee, and Rashford took the initiative to cut his salary by 30%, just to wear a red and blue battle suit!

Core details of the transaction:

Salary: Rashford's original weekly salary was 325,000 pounds (annual salary of about 18 million euros), and after joining Barcelona, he reduced his salary to about 9 million euros (after tax), and Barcelona bears the full amount;

Registration guarantee: Rashford gave up the registration guarantee terms provided by Manchester United, and insisted on joining even if he could not obtain a labor certificate;

Timeline: Physical examination on July 20, officially debuted on July 22, and went to Asia with the team on July 24.

Netizens hotly discussed:

"This operation is comparable to Felix back then! Did Barcelona find a treasure again?"

"Master: For Barcelona, I am willing to cut my salary by half!"

2. Barcelona's "left answer"? Fricking pointed out that the reinforcement plan was finally implemented

1. Tactical demand: left-wing attack + center spare tire

Although Barcelona won the three domestic championships last season, they always lacked stable explosive points on the left. After Nico Williams renewed Biba's contract, Barcelona turned to Rashford urgently. A reporter from Germany's Sky Sports pointed out: "Frick needs a player who can break through on the left, cut in and shoot in, and play a guest center when necessary." Rashford's career Premier League data of 89 goals and 52 assists, as well as his 17-game performance in 17 games when he was loaned to Villa last season, perfectly meets Barcelona's needs.

2. Commercial value: The "traffic password" of the Asian market

Rashford's high popularity in the English-speaking world will become the box office guarantee of Barcelona Asia Tour (Seoul FC on July 24). The head of Barcelona's marketing department said bluntly: "His joining will drive jersey sales and social media popularity, which is unmeasurable for money."

3. Rashford's "despite": rejecting Bayern for Barcelona, and having to gamble on the future when he cuts his salary

1. From Manchester United abandoning players to Barcelona's darling

Manchester United's dilemma: After being loaned to Villa on the winter window, Rashford was repeatedly criticized by Tenhager for his late training, and after returning to Manchester United, he was banned from returning to the team, and the No. 10 jersey was also replaced by Cunha;

Barcelona sincerely: Frick met with the Rashford team as early as May 2025, promising "main position + tactical core position."

2. The "truth" behind the salary cut

Rashford voluntarily gave up 25%-30% of his annual salary (media reports differences), which is exactly the same as the terms of Felix's loan to Barcelona in 2023. People familiar with the matter revealed: "He told his agent that he would come to Barcelona even if he didn't take the money."

4. Future prospects: The front line revolution of the Red and Blue Army?

1. Rashford's role positioning

Left winger: form a "double fast horse" with Rafinia to attack the right defense line of La Liga;

Center spare tire: When Lewandowski's physical strength declines, he uses his physical advantage to attack the penalty area.

2. Barcelona's "three wins" transactions

competitive level: strengthen the left side and enhance the competitiveness of the Champions League;

fiscal level: no need to pay transfer fees, buyout terms can be flexibly handled;

commercial level: ignite the Asian market and enhance brand value.

Expert comments:

"This deal is Barcelona's most successful signing this summer! Rashford's fighting spirit and experience are the key puzzle for Barcelona to win the triple crown." ——Editor-in-Chief of "Marca"

5. Controversy and Challenge: Can Master Ra fulfill his promise?

Although the transaction seems perfect, doubts still exist:

State fluctuations: Rashford's goal efficiency has declined in the past three seasons. Can he adapt to the pace of La Liga?

Competitive pressure: Fati's comeback and Yamal's rise, the left position is not a strong job;

Buyout suspense: Will Barcelona activate the 30 million clause? It is highly likely to be "rented for free".

Fans are looking forward to:

"Let the master, stop having a party! What Camp Nou needs is the leader, not the party animal!"

Conclusion

The "two-way trip" between Rashford and Barcelona is not only a big bet for the player's career, but also a key step for Barcelona to rebuild the front line. If he can reproduce the madness of the "big four-game" back then, the Red and Blues' 2025-26 season is destined to be full of surprises!
