Barcelona gives in to City's demands regarding Rodri
Renowned transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has revealed that Barcelona have reached a final agreement with Manchester City to sign Spanish star Rodri during the current summer transfer window . Romano wrote on his official social media accounts: "Rodri to Barcelona, HERE WE GO !" confirming that the deal is complete after the Catalan club received the green light from Manchester City regarding their latest offer for the Spanish midfielder . Rodri is thus set to join Barcelona from Manchester City in a deal whose details have been finalized, allowing the Spanish player to begin a new chapter in his career with the Spanish champions . Press reports had indicated that Barcelona reached a preliminary agreement with Manchester City for the transfer, worth €76.5 million, including a fixed fee of €60 million plus easily achievable bonuses and add-ons . Rodri is expected to sign a four-year contract with Barcelona, as there are no outstanding issues regarding personal terms between the two parties . Rodri preferred a move to Barcelona over Real Madrid, especially as he entered the final year of his contract with Manchester City, bringing him closer to a return to La Liga with the Catalan club . Barcelona's signing of Rodri is intended to bolster their midfield, particularly after Frenkie de Jong's serious knee injury. Hansi Flick is counting on the Spaniard's experience and abilities to provide the midfield with more strength and balance . Rodri leaves Manchester City after a glittering career, which included winning four Premier League titles, scoring the winning goal in the 2013 Champions League final against Inter Milan, and winning the Ballon d'Or in 2014.
