Is Rodri Going to Barcelona? How Man City Star's Proposed Real Madrid Transfer Has Taken Shocking Twist

Barcelona are expected to pay up to €76.5 million for the Spain midfielder as Manchester City secure a guaranteed €60 million.

  • On Sunday, Barcelona finalized a deal to sign World Cup hero Rodri from Manchester City, with the agreement reported worth up to $87.8 million.
  • Barcelona had made two previous bids for the midfielder this summer worth $52 million and $69.3 million before Manchester City accepted a third offer.
  • The 30-year-old midfielder faces reliability questions following recent back surgery and a devastating 2024 knee injury that sidelined him 51 games.
  • Barcelona continues struggling to register new signings Anthony Gordon and Adeyemi while Ferran Torres departed to Paris Saint-Germain to create necessary budget space.
  • Manager Hansi Flick remains focused on finding creative solutions for the squad's lack of a striker, a priority that supersedes the Rodri investment.
