According to the World Sports, England forward Rashford completed a physical examination at Gambor Sports City and was warmly received by head coach Frick and football director Deco. Frick and Deco look forward to the forward who can make great progress for the team. In addition, Rashford also met with club director Joan Soler.

Although the whole Barcelona team did not arrange training today, Frick appeared at the Barcelona training base and met with Rashford. The German coach had previously told Rashford by phone that the latter would become a major player, and this time, he personally sent the same message to Rashford.

Rashford has not been able to meet with his new teammates as the Barcelona player is not in Sports City, but the England striker will meet with locker room members for the first time this Tuesday. Rashford plans to attend Flick’s first training Tuesday morning and another training session in the afternoon.

Rashford's loan news is expected to be officially announced in the next few hours, with the signing ceremony being held at the Spotify Camp Nou Stadium office on Wednesday afternoon, with club chairman Laporta attending. In addition, Rashford is also expected to answer media questions as a new Barcelona player for the first time.

Once signed, Rashford will be one of the highlights of Barcelona's Asian tour, and people hope that the England striker will be able to make his debut there, but given his current lack of competitive form, it remains to be seen whether his debut will be postponed.
