Transfer: ‘I don’t want to get involved’ – Barça star, Fermin Lopez on Rodri’s move to Camp Nou

Barcelona forward Fermin Lopez has expressed his disinterest in the potential transfer of Manchester City midfielder Rodri to Camp Nou this summer. Despite being turned down by Manchester City with an initial £43 million offer, Barcelona is expected to present a revised bid, possibly around £60 million. Lopez, who missed Spain's 2026 FIFA World Cup due to injury, stated, "Everyone knows that Rodri is an extraordinary player.

These are things that, if they are meant to happen, will happen… and I don’t want to get involved," according to Fabrizio Romano on X. Rodri, widely regarded as one of the world's premier players, won the Ballon d'Or in 2024 and led Spain to their second FIFA World Cup title last month. At Manchester City, he has made 298 appearances, scoring 28 goals and providing 32 assists, while winning 13 major trophies, including four Premier League titles and one Champions League.

With Spain, he has earned 70 caps, including victories in the 2024 UEFA European Championship and the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The Barcelona target ranks as the 11th player in history to achieve the feat of winning the FIFA World Cup, UEFA Champions League, and Ballon d'Or.
