Transfer news: Barca land Rodri, Barcola wants Liverpool, City keen on Fernandez

Barcelona have secured the signing of Ballon d’Or winner Rodri from Manchester City, according to reports. The 30-year-old Spanish midfielder is set to join the Catalan giants for a fee of 60 million euros and will sign a four-year contract with the club. This comes after Barcelona's initial offer of around 40 million euros was rejected by City, but the two sides were able to reach an agreement in the end.

City had previously turned down an offer for Rodri, but following his impending move to Barcelona, they may now be open to reviving talks for Argentina international Enzo Fernandez from Chelsea. Despite missing City's £120 million deadline for an offer, City could still attempt to sign Fernandez before the transfer window closes on September 1.

Meanwhile, Liverpool are expected to make a move for either Paris Saint-Germain forward Bradley Barcola or Ibrahim Mbaye before the window closes. Both players were left out of PSG's matchday squad for their Trophée des Champions match against Lens, which resulted in a surprise 1-0 defeat for the French champions. Liverpool sees Barcola as their priority target, while Mbaye is also being considered for a potential right-wing role.
