In a thrilling development for football fans worldwide, the official announcement date for Marcus Rashford’s highly anticipated move to Barcelona has been confirmed.
According to a breaking news update from Transfer News Live on X, the announcement is set to take place tomorrow, Wednesday, July 23, 2025.
The revelation comes as Manchester United and Barcelona prepare to release a joint statement, synchronized with United’s current travel to the USA for pre-season preparations.
The transfer saga has been a topic of intense speculation, with Rashford’s potential move gaining momentum in recent weeks.
Adding further credibility to the transfer buzz, renowned football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has confirmed the latest development in Marcus Rashford’s move to Barcelona.
In a tweet posted today, Romano revealed that Rashford has officially signed his documents with the Catalan club, marking a significant step toward finalizing the deal.
The English forward, who has struggled to secure regular playing time at Manchester United under head coach Ruben Amorim, completed his medical at Barcelona’s Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper on July 21.
This step marked a significant milestone, bringing the deal closer to fruition.
The move is structured as a season-long loan, with Barcelona covering Rashford’s wages in full and an option to make the transfer permanent at the season’s end, according to the Manchester Evening News.
Rashford’s journey to this point has been emotional, particularly with the prospect of reuniting with former Manchester United teammate Jesse Lingard, who now plays in South Korea.
The two could face off when Barcelona plays a pre-season friendly against Lingard’s team on July 31.
Having both progressed through United’s academy and won the League Cup, FA Cup, and Europa League together, this reunion adds a nostalgic layer to Rashford’s transition.
As the clock ticks toward tomorrow’s announcement, the football world eagerly awaits confirmation of this high-profile transfer, which could mark a turning point in Rashford’s career.
