Barcelona is poised to sign Spain's World Cup-winning midfielder Rodri, after reaching an agreement with Manchester City to transfer the player for a fee of 76.5 million euros ($88.5 million). The 30-year-old Rodri, who has been with City since joining from Atletico Madrid in 2019, recently won the Ballon d’Or as the world's best player following Spain's European Championship victory last month.
He also scored the winning goal in the Champions League final earlier this year. Rodri's departure from City will further weaken their midfield, as Bernardo Silva left for Real Madrid last summer. The move to Barcelona will be a significant one for Rodri, who is currently recovering from minor back surgery following the World Cup.
