Manchester United star Marcus Rashford has reportedly rekindled his romance with ex-fiancée Lucia Loi, as she was seen supporting him during his move to Barcelona FC. The 27-year-old footballer has joined the La Liga club on a season-long loan, and Lucia, 26, was spotted at his unveiling photoshoot at Camp Nou.
According to reports, Lucia took photos of Rashford and adjusted his shirt before he posed with a British red phone box for Barcelona's announcement video. The couple, who met in school, have had an on-off relationship over the years, but sources claim they have grown increasingly close recently.
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. 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.' The source added that Lucia helps keep the footballer grounded.
Rashford and Lucia first dated for around eight years before splitting in May 2021. They rekindled their romance in 2022 and got engaged later that year, but ended things again in June 2023. Rashford was later linked to Love Island star Grace Jackson, but that relationship fizzled out by the end of 2024.
Rashford's move to Barcelona marks a significant career milestone, as he becomes the first England international to sign for the club since Gary Lineker in 1986. Speaking on Barcelona's YouTube channel, he said: 'I'm very excited. It's a club where people's dreams come true... I feel like I'm at home.'
