Joan Laporta continues to trust in the possible arrival of Marcus Rashford at Barça. Although it seems that, in recent hours, his possible loan has been frozen, the reality is that everything is still on track. It is difficult to find the necessary Fair Play to register him, but it seems it will be possible. The plan is still in motion and there are 3 operations that could be key for his registration in LaLiga.
The first is closed: we are talking about the departure of the youth player Unai Hernández to Saudi Arabia. In total, Barça will receive 5 million euros (5.4 million dollars), will get rid of his salary, and could continue earning with the % of a future sale. However, much more is still needed, although there are 2 other operations that seem close.
Another one is related to La Masia. The youth player Pau Prim can take a similar path to Unai, heading, in his case, to Qatar. He has an important offer and has accepted it, although there is still no agreement with FC Barcelona. The country's plan is to incorporate promising players to naturalize them and be able to compete in the next World Cup.
The last one, but not least, doesn't directly concern Barça, but the club can also receive money. A former youth player like Mika Mármol can leave another 5 million in the club's coffers. Roma is negotiating his signing and everything could be closed at 10 'kilos' (10 million euros or 10.8 million dollars): from the final figure, the Catalans will take half.
Thus, among the 3 mentioned operations, Joan Laporta hopes to achieve enough Fair Play to register Marcus Rashford. Calculations point to a necessary salary space of about 7-8 million euros (7.5-8.6 million dollars). Thus, it would be possible to register the salary that the Englishman would earn for the remainder of the season.
Marcus Rashford says "I do" to Joan Laporta
Marcus Rashford has chosen Barça and wants to leave Manchester United as soon as possible, where the atmosphere is very toxic for him. His relationship with the new coach, Rúben Amorim, is nonexistent, he feels ignored by someone with no past at Old Trafford, and he is not willing to continue enduring this ordeal.
Amorim doesn't want to see him in his locker room anymore, and Manchester United has put him on the market hoping for a good offer. But Marcus Rashford only wants to go to Barça, to which he only demands security in the registration.
The word is given and Marcus Rashford will wait for FC Barcelona. The plan is clear and everything is on track: Joan Laporta is working on it with Hansi Flick's OK.
