Rodri has agreed to join Barcelona in a deal worth €76.5M after the club failed twice earlier in the summer. The Spanish champions finally secured the Ballon d'Or winner with a third offer over the weekend, and paperwork was exchanged with Manchester City on Sunday. The 30‑year‑old midfielder is expected to arrive inวัฒนา days and could be presented before Wednesday’s Joan Gamper Trophy खरी against Al Ahly at Spotify Camp Nou.

The deal comes shortly after sources confirmed that fullback João Cancelo will also return to Barça on a free transfer. Cancelo and Rodri will be the fourth and fifth signings of a busy summer, following the arrivals of Anthony Gordon, Karim Adeyemi and Jesse Bisiwu. Barcelona remain keen on a striker, with Atlético Madrid’s Julián Álvarez still a top target.

Rodri, who joined City in 2019, has won four Premier League titles, a Champions League, the Euros and the World Cup with Spain, and was named player of both tournaments. His move is seen as a statement signing that could help Hansi Flick lift Barça to the next level in coming seasons.
