Barcelona reach deal with Man City to sign Rodri
The 30-year-old midfielder will move to the Spanish side for a fee of around €75 million (US$87 million).
Barcelona have secured a deal to sign Manchester City midfielder Rodri for around €75 million, according to a source from the Catalan club. The 30-year-old, who won the 2023 Champions League and four Premier League titles with City, is expected to complete the transfer in the coming days. Rodri, who was linked with Real Madrid after Spain's World Cup victory in July, had previously played for Atletico Madrid, where he won the Ballon d'Or in 2024.
His injury struggles over the past two seasons made him a prime target for Barcelona, especially as Dutch midfielder Frenkie de Jong is set to miss several months due to injury. Despite facing two rejected bids, Barcelona ultimately reached an agreement with City, following Anthony Gordon, Karim Adeyemi, and Jesse Bisiwu to Camp Nou this summer.
The Spanish champions are also expected to finalize a deal for Joao Cancelo in the near future, having loaned him from Al Hilal last season.
