Marcus Rashford's wish fulfillment is imminent.
Rashford is on the verge of going to Barcelona. The BBC said on the 20th (Korea time) that Manchester United and Barcelona have reached an agreement in principle on Rashford's loan transfer. The transfer discussion was carried out through the agent and a rough oral agreement was reached' and the transfer form is expected to include a full transfer option after the lease.
Rashford has been confirmed to break up with Manchester United. Rashford has requested a transfer along with Alejandro Garnacho, Jadon Sancho and Antony. Manchester United also accepted this. According to The Athletic, Manchester United even allowed them to delay their return to pre-season training to find a team.
United accepted their worst report card last season. Not a single trophy was lifted. In the league, the club lost 18 games, the most ever, falling to 15th place. After replacing coach Erik ten Haach, he appointed Huven Amorim, who wrote a successful era in Portugal through the acting system of Ruud van Nistelrooy, but failed to rebound, contrary to expectations. Manchester United even failed to win the Europa League, which was its last chance.
Manager Amorim of the preseason pulled out his sword. He started to clean up the inside. Decided to release Rashford, Garnacho, Antony, etc. A Manchester United official said "Amarim is establishing his authority over Manchester United. Amorim, who took over in the middle of the season, had a chance to put his image on the team"Coach Amorim wants only the players who will give their lives for the uniform. I want to make a small squad to give every player enough time to stay fit to play at any time. He said he doesn't want a troublemaker on the team.
Rashford was publicly at odds with Amorim last season. Coach Amorim even criticized him openly over his attitude. Eventually Rashford left Aston Villa on loan. The talent didn't go anywhere. He scored four goals and six assists in 17 games. Showed ability, but had no place for Manchester United.
Rashford found a new team. The team he wanted the most was Barcelona. Rashford even gave several likeable interviews about Barcelona.
Barcelona, which had been showing lukewarm responses, recently changed its atmosphere. Barcelona, looking for the left wing, was initially close to signing Niko Williams, but the transfer was canceled. Recently, he has been linked with Liverpool's Luis Díaz. However, high ransom and complicated procedures are a problem. Naturally, Rashford emerged as a realistic alternative.
Originally, the transfer fee was a problem. Rashford's transfer fee is estimated at 48 million euros (about 77.3 billion won). It was a burdensome amount for Barcelona, which has financial problems. Coach Han Ji Flick has approved the signing of Rashford for now. The lease solved the transfer fee problem, and the weekly pay was surprisingly easy to solve.
Rashford made a decision. Sport said 'Rashford went to great lengths to achieve his dream. He gave up about 30% of his salary to sign a contract with Barcelona. Rashford's annual salary was 18 million euros (about 29.1 billion won). Barcelona will pay 70% of that, adding that Barcelona will pay a player's salary, and Manchester United will not pay any percentage. The lease is said to include a full transfer option of up to 35 million euros (about 56.7 billion won).
Rashford is United's goalkeeper. In the 2015-2016 season, he appeared together and played for 10 seasons. Including his youth team career, which began in 2005, he has had 20 years of relationship with Manchester United. He scored 138 goals in 426 games for Manchester United.
