Rodri’s adventure at Barcelona is getting closer and closer to the official launch. After the agreement reached between the Catalan club and Manchester City for the transfer of the Spanish midfielder, for an amount of 65 million euros plus bonuses, the player is preparing for the trip to Barcelona.
According to “Cadena Cope”, Rodri is expected to arrive in the Catalan city around 19:00, after successfully completing the medical tests in Manchester.
The Spanish midfielder is expected to start the first official contact with his new club. According to reports, Rodri could be presented on Wednesday together with Joao Cancelo, starting a new chapter in his career, writes 04 Online.
After several successful years at Manchester City, Rodri leaves the English club after winning important trophies, including the Champions League and the Premier League. In 2024, he was also awarded the “Golden Ball”, being crowned as the best footballer in the world.
Although he was linked with a transfer to Real Madrid for a long time, Rodri has chosen to return to Spanish football to join Barcelona.
In Hansi Flick’s team, the 30-year-old is expected to have a central role in the midfield and be one of the main figures of the project of the Catalan club.
The transfer of Rodri represents an important reinforcement for Barcelona, while the return of the winner of the “Golden Ball” in La Liga gives another dimension to the competition in Spanish football./04 Online/
