Barcelona lock in dates to present Marcus Rashford as their latest summer addition | OneFootball

Barcelona are preparing to officially present Marcus Rashford as their new signing, with the event expected to take place on either July 22 or July 23, according to a report from SPORT.

After days of intense negotiations, the Blaugrana and Manchester United have finalised the last details of the transfer, allowing the English forward to move to Spain.

It is to be noted that this past Saturday, July 19, was a whirlwind for Rashford. The striker closely followed the situation from Manchester, waiting for both clubs to reach a complete agreement.

Now that everything is in place, the next step is for Rashford to travel to Barcelona and begin his new chapter in La Liga.

The club wants him to start work as soon as possible. In that case, his first step will be to undergo the routine medical tests, which are essential before signing any contract.

Once Rashford completes the medical examination and gets the green light from the doctors, the club will set the date for his official presentation. This event will likely take place before the team departs for Japan on July 24.

The presentation ceremony will include the official signing of the contract, photos with President Joan Laporta, and the traditional appearance in front of the media. Barcelona are aiming for either July 22 or 23 to make everything official.

It is said that Hansi Flick is eager to have Rashford available as soon as possible.

He wants the English international to begin training with the squad immediately, so he can quickly adapt to his new teammates and start preparing for the season ahead.
