Barcelona have reached a £65 million agreement to sign Manchester City midfielder Rodri, the 30-year-old Spanish captain who won the Ballon d'Or in 2024. The transfer, which is expected to be finalized in the coming days, sees Rodri commit to a four-year contract with the Spanish champions. Joining City from Atletico Madrid in 2019 for a then-record £62.8 million, Rodri has made 298 appearances across six trophy-winning seasons at the Etihad Stadium.
Despite missing significant time due to knee and hamstring injuries, he delivered a standout performance at the 2024 World Cup, leading Spain to victory and earning player of the tournament honors. At City, Rodri has accumulated 12 major titles, including four Premier League crowns, two FA Cups, three EFL Cups, and the 2022-23 Champions League.
