Manchester City and Barcelona have reached an agreement over the transfer of midfielder Rodri, a person with knowledge of the transaction confirmed to The Associated Press on Sunday. The deal is worth 76.5 million euros ($88.5 million).
Rodri, Spain’s World Cup-winning captain, has played for City since joining from Atletico Madrid in 2019. He scored the winning goal in the Champions League final victory over Inter Milan in 2023 and won the Ballon d’Or as the world’s best player the following year.
Rodri had one year left on his contract with City. His departure would further weaken City’s midfield, with Bernardo Silva having left and joined Real Madrid this summer.
