Manchester City and Spanish national team standout Rodri has signaled his willingness to join Barcelona this summer. This shift represents a significant turn in the recruitment process for the 30-year-old athlete.
Journalist Gerard Romero of Jijantes FC reported that Rodri has officially agreed to the move, allowing Barcelona to initiate formal transfer discussions. The midfielder was previously heavily associated with Real Madrid, and reports suggested that the Madrid club had already settled on personal terms with the player while engaging in talks with Manchester City.
Stalled negotiations with Real Madrid provided an opportunity for Barcelona, which acted decisively to secure a verbal commitment from the 2026 FIFA World Cup champion. Barcelona is now prepared to settle the specific financial terms required to bring the former Ballon d’Or recipient to the club.
