Spanish champions Barcelona have reached an agreement with Manchester City to sign Spanish national team captain Rodri for approximately 76 million euros. The 30-year-old midfielder is set to sign a four-year contract with the Catalan club, with the transfer expected to be finalized in the coming days.

Rodri departs Manchester City after seven seasons marked by numerous trophies. He joined the English club from Atletico Madrid in 2019, with City paying around 73.5 million euros for his services. During his tenure, he made 298 appearances and was instrumental in securing 12 major titles for the club.

His trophy cabinet includes four Premier League titles, two FA Cups, three League Cups, and the coveted Champions League trophy in the 2022/23 season. Rodri's departure comes after a season where he missed a significant portion due to a severe knee injury, followed by a hamstring injury. However, he returned to peak form for the World Cup, leading Spain to their second world championship title and earning the tournament's best player award.
