Rodri’s transfer to Barcelona is getting closer and closer to being finalized. According to Sport, the player and the club already have everything agreed, and talks with Manchester City are entering their final stretch.
With the midfielder, whose contract expires in a year, the agreement had already been sealed days ago. The only thing left was to set the transfer fee between the clubs, which is now being resolved before documents are exchanged for the signing.

Rodri is a priority for Hansi Flick, who could have him available as early as this week. The German coach wants the key cases sorted out before the league opener, which is two weeks away.
City manager Enzo Maresca has said that, for now, he expects the player in Manchester on Friday for the start of preseason. Rodri chose Barça because he felt more aligned with Guardiola’s philosophy than with Real Madrid’s.
The transfer window remains open until August 31, but Flick hopes to have Rodri available alongside the rest of the world champions, who return this Wednesday.
