Rodri has finally completed his sensational move from Manchester City to Barcelona, bringing the curtain down on a trophy-filled seven-year spell in England. The Spain captain has signed a four-year contract with the Catalan giants, keeping him at the club until June 2030.

The 30-year-old midfielder arrives after an extraordinary period at City, where he made 298 appearances and helped the club win 14 major trophies, including four Premier League titles and the Champions League. He also claimed the 2024 Ballon d’Or.

Barcelona paid around £65.4 million, with the deal potentially rising further through bonuses. The Spanish champions beat fierce interest from Real Madrid to secure one of the biggest signings of the summer.

Rodri now returns to Spain as a World Cup winner and the tournament’s best player, adding enormous experience and quality to Hansi Flick’s midfield.

For City, his departure leaves a massive hole. For Barcelona, it represents a statement of intent as they chase domestic and European glory.
