Detroit, MI, August 16, 2026 —
Manchester City and Barcelona have reportedly reached an agreement for the transfer of midfielder Rodri, with the deal valued at 76.5 million euros. Rodri, the captain of the Spanish national team, has been a key player for Manchester City since joining the club in 2019.
During his tenure with City, Rodri has achieved significant milestones, including scoring the decisive goal in the club’s 2023 Champions League final victory. His performances also earned him the prestigious Ballon d’Or award. The midfielder’s contributions have been instrumental to Manchester City’s success in recent seasons.
Rodri was notably absent from Manchester City’s recent Community Shield match against Arsenal. His absence from the squad was attributed to his ongoing recovery from a minor back surgery. The specifics regarding the timeline of his recovery and his return to play were not provided.
The reported transfer fee of 76.5 million euros marks a significant valuation for the Spanish international. Further details regarding the official announcement of the transfer and the terms of Rodri’s contract with Barcelona have not yet been disclosed.
