Manchester United have set a price for Barcelona to sign Marcus Rashford permanently ahead of his loan move to the La Liga club.
Rashford has passed his medical and is set to be presented to the media as a Barcelona player for the first time on Wednesday.
The Englishman’s loan deal will last for 12 months and includes an option for the Spanish top-flight champions to buy him at the end of the season.
How much Barcelona must pay for Rashford
According to the BBC, Barcelona must pay United €35m (£30.3m) to transform the loan spell into a permanent transfer in the summer of 2026.

Barcelona will cover Rashford’s wages during his season-long loan after the 27-year-old forward agreed to take a 25 per cent pay cut.
The deal was agreed in principle over the weekend and Rashford has already met his new manager Hansi Flick at Barcelona’s training ground.
The move means Rashford may’ve already played his final game for United, following 426 appearances, after progressing through the club’s academy.
Rashford has spent the last 20 years at Old Trafford – joining the club at the age of seven from Fletcher Moss Rangers.
Since Rashford made his debut in 2016, United have won two FA Cups, two Carabao Cups, the Europa League and the Community Shield.
Rashford has registered 138 goals and 77 assists for the Red Devils but has struggled for form at United for around two years and was dramatically banished from the first team by Ruben Amorim in December.
Rashford was subsequently sent out on loan to fellow Premier League side Aston Villa for the second half of the 2024-25 campaign.
There has been speculation over his future ever since – but it was well known that Rashford had his heart set on a dream move to Barcelona.
Ferdinand warns Rashford ahead of Barca move
Rio Ferdinand believes Rashford can succeed at Barcelona – but has warned him that he may not start many games for his new club.
‘Where’s he going to play?’ United legend Ferdinand said on his YouTube channel. ‘He’s got to fight his way into this team.
‘A lot of people, including myself, didn’t think this opportunity at Barcelona would actually be there for Marcus Rashford, given what he’s produced over the last two years.
‘He hasn’t produced the Marcus Rashford that we first saw running in behind, aggressive runs, finishing things, shooting from crazy angles, assisting goals etc.
‘His game has changed, wanting to dribble with the ball more. But what made him hard to play against that he was willing to run behind. He’s magic at that when he gets that right and when he’s consistent with that.
‘He could be that difference for this Barcelona team. Raphinha doesn’t mind running in behind, but he does like it to feet. Lamine Yamal would rather get it to feet and dribble. And Lewandowski is not someone who can run in behind as much anymore. He’s more of a target man, great finisher.’
