The amount of Marcus Rashford’s wages which Barcelona will pay has been revealed.
There is an agreement in principle for Rashford to join Barcelona on a season-long loan move from Manchester United.
The deal will include an option for Barcelona to sign the England international permanently next summer.
Rashford spent the second half of last season on loan at Aston Villa after falling out of favour under United boss Ruben Amorim.
During his time at Villa Rashford made 17 appearances and scored four goals, while he provided six assists.
His current contract at United runs until the summer of 2028.

Barcelona are set to pay all of Rashford’s £315,000-a-week wages during his loan move.
The 27-year-old has been training away from the United squad at Carrington in pre-season so far and has been joined by Jadon Sancho, Alejandro Garnacho, Antony and Tyrell Malacia.
Another sign of Rashford’s imminent departure from United came when his No10 shirt was given to new signing Matheus Cunha earlier this month.
Rashford has played 426 games for United and has scored 138 goals and he has also provided 77 assists.
He has won the FA Cup and the EFL Cup twice each and the Europa League once.
So far in this transfer window Barcelona have signed winger Roony Bardghji and goalkeeper Joan Garcia.
Barcelona had been heavily linked with Nico Williams, but the winger elected to sign a new ten-year contract with Athletic Bilbao.
Hansi Flick has made signing a left-sided attacker one of his priorities at Barcelona this summer.

Asked in an interview last month if he hoped to play alongside Barcelona’s teenage star Lamine Yamal, Rashford said: ‘Yeah, for sure. Everybody in the world wants to play with the best. Hopefully. We’ll see.’
