The summer 2026 transfer window is in full swing, and Manchester City star Rodri has become the most talked-about player.
Having won the World Cup, the Euros, and the 2024 Ballon d'Or, the 30-year-old midfielder is entering the final year of his contract.
While he has attracted interest from several giants, including Real Madrid, Rodri has clearly signaled his desire to join FC Barcelona.
Barcelona has offered €60 million for the star, but Manchester City is holding out for a fee between €70 million and €80 million.
Should Rodri leave, City may look toward Chelsea’s Enzo Fernández as a high-profile replacement.
The wider market has been incredibly active, with Premier League teams splashing record amounts.
As the September 1 deadline approaches, clubs are scrambling to finalize their rosters in one of the most expensive and competitive transfer windows in football history.
