Rashford Joins Barcelona’s La Liga Squad…
Marcus Rashford has officially donned the Barcelona colors and is all set to make his grand entrance into La Liga when his team faces RCD Mallorca tonight. Just as suspenseful as waiting for your grandma to finally finish knitting your winter scarf, fans were biting their nails over his registration due to La Liga’s strict financial rules. But, like a magician pulling a rabbit out of a hat, Barca announced on Saturday that Rashford has been cleared to play. It appears that rehoming 50% of Francisco Trincão to Sporting CP for €11 million and restructuring Jules Kounde’s contract were the magic tricks needed.
Without their star Robert Lewandowski, Rashford is one of the few shining stars in Barcelona’s attack for the match. Armed with nothing but optimism and possibly a magic wand, Rashford insists: “I’m calm, and trusting the club,” sounding more like a life-coach at a magical retreat. Meanwhile, a slightly frustrated Barca manager Hansi Flick declared, “The situation? Not my favorite, but I trust the club to wave their wand too.” As suspense builds for the debut, fans in Manchester can stay tuned to every thrilling detail through our coverage.
