Barcelona confirms signing of Spain captain Rodri from Manchester City
Madrid (AP) — Barcelona has officially confirmed the signing of Spain captain Rodri from Manchester City on Tuesday. The midfielder expressed his excitement about joining a club that appreciates the "values of soccer" and admitted it was a "tough decision" to leave his former team. Rodri, who helped Spain secure its second World Cup title, joined Barcelona after undergoing a medical and finalizing transfer details.
The 30-year-old's contract with Barcelona runs until 2030, and he will be joining a squad already featuring world champions such as Lamine Yamal, Dani Olmo, Pau Cubarsí, Gavi, and Pedri. Rodri's departure from City further weakens the midfield, as Bernardo Silva also left for Real Madrid this offseason.
