Barcelona, Manchester City and Rodri
Sunday
Barcelona and Manchester City have reached an agreement in principle for Rodri after multiple rejected bids. The package is worth up to €76.5m, with the Spain midfielder expected to sign a four-year contract and travel for his medical.
The agreement is a major reversal from City’s rejection of Barcelona’s third proposal only a day earlier. Rodri had one year remaining on his contract and preferred Barcelona, allowing the Spanish champions to finally bridge City’s valuation before the deadline.
