Barcelona and Manchester City have reached a fundamental agreement for the transfer of 30-year-old Spain international and Ballon d'Or winner Rodri. The deal has been fully agreed upon by all parties.
The Spanish midfielder is set to return to La Liga, where he previously played for Villarreal and Atletico Madrid, to become a pivotal figure in the heart of the Blaugrana's midfield.
All financial aspects of the transfer and payment structure have been settled, with Rodri having agreed to the terms of a long-term personal contract with the Catalan club.
Signing Rodri addresses a key need for Barcelona, as they sought an elite defensive midfielder with top-level game reading and tempo control skills.
The departure of the Spanish leader marks a significant overhaul of Manchester City's midfield, which has already welcomed new names this summer.
