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 La Liga champions Barcelona, signing a deal that will keep him at the club until 2030. The 30-year-old Spanish international expressed his excitement about returning to the sport after a successful tenure at City, where he won seven trophies.
Despite rumors linking him to Real Madrid, Rodri ultimately chose Barcelona, signing a contract worth up to €76.5 million (£88.6 million), including bonuses. The midfielder has struggled with injuries in recent seasons but recently played a key role in Spain's World Cup victory. Rodri praised his new club's ambition and his desire to compete for major titles like the Champions League.
He also highlighted his connection to Barcelona's young stars, including Pedri and Lamine Yamal, and expressed confidence in his new coach, Hansi Flick, who he believes will bring a fresh perspective to his career.
