Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford has passed a medical at Barcelona before his loan move.
The 27-year-old arrived in Catalonia on Sunday night after getting permission from United to complete the formalities of a move.
The England international was met by Barcelona manager Hansi Flick and sporting director Deco at the training ground on Monday morning.
Talks between Barcelona and United progressed swiftly in the last week, with a deal agreed in principle over the weekend.
Barcelona have agreed to cover Rashford’s wages for the duration of his season-long loan after he accepted a 25% pay cut, saving United about £14million.
The deal, which is for an initial 12 months, includes an option to buy for £30.3m (35m euros).
Rashford is expected to be presented to the media on Wednesday.
Joining Barcelona has been Rashford’s preferred option since he said in December that he was ready for a new challenge after being dropped by United head coach Ruben Amorim.
The move will be Rashford’s second consecutive loan spell after a six-month stint with Aston Villa in the second half of last season.
Barcelona hope that Rashford’s move will be completed in time he joins the pre-season tour of Japan and South Korea on Thursday.
The Spanish club have work to do to register Rashford for La Liga competition.
However, unregistered players can train with the team and play in non-competitive matches.
Should Rashford join the tour, he could come up against former United team-mate Jesse Lingard.
Lingard, 32, is in his second season with K League side FC Seoul, who face Barcelona on 31 July.
