No official comments have been issued by Manchester City or Barcelona, and deal details have not been released publicly as of now.

Barcelona has agreed a transfer for Rodri with Manchester City for up to 76.5 million euros, featuring a 60 million euro upfront fee and 16.5 million euros in performance add-ons, capping a long pursuit of the World Cup-winning captain.

Official figures of the fee remain undisclosed, though circulating estimates place the cost between €55 million and €70 million.

Barcelona is also considered seeking midfield alternatives or successors, with targets like Ayyoub Bouaddi from Lille and Enzo Fernandez from Chelsea as potential replacements if Rodri departs.

Both clubs have yet to comment publicly on the transfer, with a potential announcement possibly tied to Barcelona’s season presentation at the Camp Nou.

Other notable moves across the window include major defensive, wing-back, and forward shuffles, reflecting broader strategic reshaping by several clubs.

Rodri missed City’s Community Shield loss to Arsenal after returning from a minor back surgery, adding a note of context to his immediate availability.

Speculation suggests the unveiling could align with Barcelona’s season launch, pending fitness considerations.

Meanwhile, Barcelona is reportedly keeping the vacant No. 9 shirt in play, with SPORT linking Julian Alvarez as a long-term target.
