Spotted: Marcus Rashford arrives for first Barcelona training session even before being announced as new signing

🚨 | Marcus Rashford arrives in Barcelona — training begins amid mystery and excitement
Tuesday, July 22 – Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper, Barcelona

Marcus Rashford was seen pulling into FC Barcelona’s training complex early this morning, just hours after reportedly passing his medical with the club. Dressed in casual gear but with unmistakable intent in his step, the 27-year-old made his way into Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper, marking the unofficial start of a bold new chapter in his career.

What’s catching even more attention than the transfer itself is the radio silence from the club. As of Tuesday morning, there has been no official confirmation from FC Barcelona — no jersey unveiling, no press release, not even a social media teaser. Still, Rashford was there, ready to train under new head coach Hansi Flick, and fans outside the facility recognized him instantly.

📸 Clips of Rashford entering the training center are already going viral online.

According to sources close to the club:

• His registration is complete.
• The delay in announcement is reportedly a strategic media decision, not a legal or technical issue.
• He is joining Barça on a season-long loan from Manchester United, with an option to buy in 2026.

Despite a minor injury that sidelined him at the end of last season, Rashford looked calm and composed as he arrived. Barcelona’s medical team has begun tailoring a fitness plan aimed at getting him back to peak condition in time for the club’s preseason tour in Asia, set to begin later this month.

🩺 He’s expected to be eased into full training while regaining match fitness.

His arrival comes at a crucial time for Barcelona, who are seeking to rebuild their attacking force following a turbulent season. Rashford’s versatility — being able to play both out wide or centrally — is seen as a key asset for Flick, who wants fluid, interchangeable attacking options.

🏟️ Once confirmed, Rashford will become just the fourth British player in club history to wear the Barça shirt — following Gary Lineker, Mark Hughes, and Louie Barry.

👥 Inside the training ground, Rashford is expected to meet his new teammates including:

• Pedri
• Gavi
• João Félix
• Robert Lewandowski
• Lamine Yamal

Sources say the team is “energized” by the surprise arrival.

Though fans are still waiting for the official unveiling, the message is clear:
🔵🔴 Marcus Rashford is in Barcelona. And he’s here to make history.

Stay tuned.
