Barcelona are reportedly exploring a surprise move for Manchester City midfielder Rodri, with the Spanish champions hoping to beat rivals Real Madrid to the signature of the 2026 World Cup winner.
The Catalan club are believed to have made initial enquiries over a potential deal, viewing Rodri as the ideal player to strengthen Hansi Flick’s midfield. However, any move would be complicated by Manchester City’s determination to keep one of their most influential players.
Real Madrid have also been heavily linked with Rodri in recent months, but Barcelona’s interest could intensify the battle for the Spain international. Reports suggest the Blaugrana are assessing whether a deal is financially possible before making a formal approach.
Despite the growing speculation, Rodri has yet to indicate any desire to leave Manchester City, leaving both Spanish giants waiting to see whether one of the biggest transfer sagas of the summer develops further.
