True, he agrees to cut his wage from 300k weekly to the 80k weekly. I was surprised he did it just to join in Barcelona. He decreased his wage for almost 80%. That's crazy he did everything wear Barcelona's shirt. It gives me vibes he doesn't care to the MU.
Your figure is not correct. According to goal.com, it said Rashford took a 25% pay cut to facilitate the deal. He was earning £300k per week at Manchester United. So 25% decrease of 300k will be 75k.
To know the current salary, 300k - 75k = 225k.
It means he will be earning £225 per week at Barcelona.

I'm sorry, that's my bad. I just see it from a tweet in X. However, we're both wrong.
Rashford finally agrees to take only 15% from his 300k salary, which is giving us 270k per week. It's crazy to see Barcelona agrees to cover all of his salary include bonus. I think it's too much for a rotation player, and not guarantee him can be a game changer for Barcelona as well. Yeah, I agree — the wage still looks massive for someone who probably won’t be a guaranteed starter. From a football point of view, Rashford could actually fit Barça’s system pretty well. He’s fast, dangerous on the counter, good at cutting in from the wing and beating his man. But let’s be honest — this move feels more like patching a hole than strengthening the squad long-term.
I see him more as a player coming off the bench for the last 20–30 minutes, maybe making an impact in certain games. And that can be valuable. But for the salary he’s reportedly on, you’d expect someone more consistent, both mentally and on the pitch. Sadly, Rashford hasn’t looked like that for a while now.
