Marcus Rashford's Secret Texts with Lamine Yamal and Barcelona's Reaction

Marcus Rashford Completes Season-Long Loan Move to Barcelona

Marcus Rashford, 27, has officially joined Barcelona after weeks of speculation. He expressed joy in playing for the LaLiga champions and was unveiled wearing the No 14 shirt, inspired by Thierry Henry.

Rashford had desired a move to Barcelona since January. Despite initial talks in Lisbon, a deal was not reached due to Barcelona's wage bill. Eventually, Rashford publicly expressed his desire to join Barcelona.

Rashford completed a season-long loan deal with Barcelona, with an option to make it permanent next season for £30 million. His arrival was well-received by the squad, with a source praising his skill set but emphasizing the need for hard work.

Rashford stated that joining Barcelona was an easy decision for him, feeling at home with the club. He expressed readiness to play and contribute to the team's success, avoiding commenting on his former club, Manchester United.

Rashford joins a forward line including Lamine Yamal and Raphinha at Barcelona. Yamal and Raphinha had impressive performances last season, setting a high standard for Rashford to compete with. Rashford's previous season saw him score six goals and provide four assists in 25 appearances.
