Rodri joins La Liga champions Barcelona from Manchester City
Spain's World Cup-winning captain signs a deal through 2030, ending one of the summer's longest-running transfer sagas.
Spain's World Cup-winning midfielder Rodri has completed his transfer from Manchester City to Barcelona, signing a deal that will keep him at the La Liga champions until 2030. The 30-year-old, who played for Atletico Madrid and Villarreal before joining City, expressed his excitement about the new chapter in his career, describing it as a "fresh challenge" and an opportunity to experience new things.
Despite the club's recent dominance in La Liga, Barcelona has yet to win the European Champions League title since 2015, and Rodri's arrival is seen as a significant step towards achieving that goal. He will join a team with familiar faces from his time with Spain, including Lamine Yamal, Pedri, and Dani Olmo, as well as new additions Anthony Gordon and Karim Adeyemi.
Rodri praised his new coach, Hansi Flick, stating that his style will bring a fresh perspective to his game and contribute to his growth as a player.
