WHAT HAPPENED?
More than two years since they broke up, Rashford and Loi were once again spotted together in Barcelona. Loi took photos of the Manchester United outcast just minutes before his presentation at Barcelona. Rashford signed a year-long loan deal with the Blaugrana earlier this week.
THE BIGGER PICTURE
According to The Sun, Rashford has requested that his former fiancee helps him to settle in Barcelona so that he can fully focus on playing football and revive his career at the Catalan side. Rashford has been given the No.14 shirt, an iconic number which was previously worn by legends like Thierry Henry and Ronald Koeman.
WHAT HAS BEEN SAID
On Rashford rekindling his relationship with Loi, a source told The Sun: "Marcus knows that some of the best moments in his career have occurred when Lucia has been at his side. They got together when they were very young and have had ups and downs, but a friendship has always remained.
"He knows that she is good for him and she is one of the few people in the world he knows has got his best interests at heart. She is very sensible and helps keep him grounded."
WHAT NEXT FOR RASHFORD?
The 27-year-old is in Barcelona's squad travelling to Asia for a pre-season tour and could make his debut for the club in a friendly match against J1 League side Vissel Kobe on Sunday.

Erik Ten Hag is Pushing to Sign 22-year-old Man United Star
Rasmus Hojlund Transfer Saga: European Giants Circle as Manchester United Stand Fir Rasmus Hojlund may have endured an inconsistent Premier League campaign, but his stock continues to rise rapidly across Europe. The 22-year-old Danish striker, who joined Manchester United under former boss Erik ten Hag, has now found himself at the centre of intense transfer speculation. According to sources shared with Caught Offside, a wave of interest is building around Hojlund, with top clubs from Italy and Germany making moves behind the scenes. Despite managing just four goals in the Premier League last season, Hojlund's age and potential are the primary drivers of this summer's scramble for his signature. The original report revealed, 'Despite his inconsistent performances for the Red Devils, the 22-year-old Danish forward remains a player of immense promise and interest in his services is heating up dramatically this summer.' It is clear that his development curve, rather than recent numbers, is informing the belief that he can still deliver at the highest level. Photo IMAGO Ten Hag's Leverkusen Push to Reunite with Hojlund One of the most intriguing subplots in this evolving story involves Erik ten Hag, now managing Bundesliga champions Bayer Leverkusen. The Dutchman is reportedly 'pushing hardest' to bring Hojlund to Germany, seeing the forward as a pivotal part of his Leverkusen rebuild. Ten Hag brought Hojlund to Manchester and appears determined to do the same again in a different setting. Caught Offside confirmed, 'Bayer Leverkusen, led by former Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag, are among the clubs pushing hardest to secure Hojlund's signature.' Photo: IMAGO Ten Hag's belief in Hojlund has never wavered and it seems his admiration extends beyond the Premier League, with hopes of harnessing the Dane's raw attributes in a league known for developing young talent. Serie A Interest Intensifies as Inter's Proposal Rejected Interest from Italy has reached fever pitch. AC Milan, Inter Milan, Napoli and Juventus are all keeping tabs on Hojlund, whose profile fits Serie A's current trend of acquiring young, physically gifted forwards. Inter Milan even went one step further, offering a deal that included Joshua Zirkzee. However, Manchester United immediately declined. 'Inter Milan have already tested the waters with a creative proposal involving both Hojlund and fellow striker Joshua Zirkzee. However, the Red Devils were quick to reject the idea,' the article stated. This suggests United are not desperate to sell, despite the attention. They are looking for a permanent deal only, holding their ground on valuation and structure. United's Stance: Not for Sale on Loan While there is no denial that United are willing to entertain offers, any departure would be on their terms. That means no loans, no player swaps, and certainly no discounts. The belief inside the club remains that Hojlund can still grow into a top-level striker if properly developed under new manager Ruben Amorim. Caught Offside reported, 'United will have to manage growing interest while deciding whether to cash in on Hojlund or give him more time to develop in England.' For now, Hojlund remains a Red Devil, but the current transfer window could determine whether United will regret letting another young talent flourish elsewhere. Our View – EPL Index Analysis From a Manchester United fan's perspective, this situation feels precarious. Hojlund is still just 22 and has barely had a consistent run of starts at Old Trafford. Under Ten Hag's turbulent tenure, he often played in a dysfunctional system that offered little service. Now that Ruben Amorim has taken the reins, fans were hopeful that a more fluid, progressive style of play would finally give Hojlund the conditions he needs to thrive. The idea of losing him now, just as the club resets under new leadership, feels premature. He has the raw materials to succeed: pace, physicality and a nose for goal. While four goals in the Premier League are underwhelming, many fans believe he was misused or underserved. It's also worth considering that United should not be aiding Erik ten Hag's rebuild at Bayer Leverkusen. The Dutchman struggled to maximise Hojlund's potential in England, so why should he now be gifted another chance in Germany? United must learn from past mistakes. Offloading young players too early has backfired before, and unless the club are confident they have a clear upgrade lined up, keeping Hojlund could prove to be the smart, if unpopular, decision. Let Amorim assess him through pre-season and early fixtures before making a long-term call. He might just explode with the right manager behind him.

Real Madrid want to use Florian Wirtz in Rodrygo deal
Liverpool cool interest in Rodrygo Rodrygo, 24, is being lined up for a sale by Real Madrid during this transfer window. The two-time Champions League winner is under contract until 2029 - but is set to be offloaded by new coach Xabi Alonso. Tottenham appear to be now in the lead for the Brazil international - with Liverpool's interest said to be cooling. With Cody Gakpo and Rio Ngumoha as left-wing options - not to mention Wirtz and Hugo Ekitike - Liverpool are well stocked in the position. While Rodrygo is a great player in his own right the deal just wouldn't make sense on a financial level for the Reds. Rodrygo's exorbitant costs For one, there's the wages. The latest reports indicate that Rodrygo would command around €400k per week - parity with Virgil van Dijk and Mo Salah. And then there's the €100m transfer fee - which Liverpool may have inadvertently help set. That's according to a new report in Defensa Central, which claims Real Madrid are USING Wirtz's fee to set the price for Rodrygo. © IMAGO - Rodrygo Liverpool Madrid use Wirtz valuation to set Rodrygo price 'If they paid 140 million for him… Rodrygo can't cost less than 100,' Defensa Central quotes a Real Madrid source as saying. Liverpool have acquired a player on the up - coveted by all the biggest teams in Europe including Madrid and Manchester City. Rodrygo on the other hand would cost MORE in wages and Madrid clearly feel he is already on the wane. Wirtz is far more of a sure thing than Rodrygo at this stage of their respective careers. Try as they like, Madrid are simply not going to convince Liverpool to pay €100m for a cast-off.

Could Lionel Messi Face Lamine Yamal On South American Soil In 2026?
March 2026 could see Lionel Messi and South American champion Argentina take on Lamine Yamal and European champion Spain in the 'Finalissima' trophy. A 'Finalissima' For The Ages The 'Finalissima' is a one-off soccer match between the champion of Europe and the champion of South America. At the moment those teams are Spain, for its 2024 European triumph, and Argentina, for its 2024 Copa America victory. Organizers have finally penciled in a preliminary date for this game. The March 2026 FIFA international break. This would be the perfect FIFA 2026 World Cup warm-up match, and perhaps it would determine who will be the favourite for next summer's big tournament in the United States, Canada and Mexico. Veteran Lionel Messi still captains Argentina, and 18 year-old Lamine Yamal is the hero of the Spanish national team. Messi is a Barcelona legend, and Yamal is the future of the club, who has just inherited the legendary number 10 jersey that Messi used to wear. These players represent so much in global soccer, and this could be the first and only time that they share the field. Where Will The Finalissima Be Played? Officials have not yet confirmed the location of the Finalissima match. Qatar, Saudi Arabia, England and Uruguay have all registered interest in hosting the event according to TYC Sports in Argentina. Qatar hosted the 2022 World Cup when Argentina won the title and Saudi Arabia is set to host the 2034 World Cup. England, and Wembley stadium in particular, has hosted three Champions League finals since 2011. It also hosted the 'Euro 2020' Final in 2021 and the last version of the Finalissima, which took place in 2022. Argentina defeated Italy 3-0 that day. Montevideo, Uruguay is a romantic option for this fixture. The historic Estadio Centenario hosted the 1930 World Cup final when Uruguay defeated Argentina 4-2. That was the first ever World Cup final. What's more, the stadium is set to close its doors for refurbishment ahead of hosting just one game at the start of the FIFA 2030 World Cup, to celebrate the centenary of the biggest tournament in international sports. Spain, Portugal, and Morocco will host the majority of the 2030 tournament. However Uruguay, Paraguay and Argentina will all host one game each to kick-off the tournament in homage to the World Cup that took place on South American soil in 1930. The Finalissima could be the last match Uruguay stages at the Estadio Centenario before it closes to prepare for the next World Cup. When you consider that Uruguay and South America didn't win the bid to host the FIFA 2030 World Cup in its entirety, perhaps this would be a nice token. Europe hosted the last version of the Finalissima, so it seems fair that South America could host the event this time. Will There Definitely Be A Finalissima? There is an important caveat to this discussion. Teams can only play the Finalissima during the international window that falls between March 23rd and 31st, 2026. It's the only space in the calendar, so Argentina and Spain need to be available to play, but the European champion might still be playing World Cup qualifying fixtures. Argentina have already qualified for next summer's tournament, but Spain is just about to begin its FIFA 2026 World Cup qualifying group. If Spain finish top of the group it will qualify automatically for the World Cup in November 2025. However if Spain fails to finish top of the group and enters the European World Cup play-offs, Spain will not be available to play the Finalissima in March 2026. Organizers can agree on a venue and date in principle, but until Spain finishes its FIFA 2026 World Cup qualifiers in November nothing can be guaranteed. What is certain is that if this game goes ahead it will be a monumental occasion in international football. Seeing Lionel Messi and Lamine Yamal on the same pitch would be historic. If South America hosts the game, fans will elevate the vibrancy, passion, and noise around the fixture to a whole new level.
