FC Barcelona completed the signing of Rodri, a 30-year-old midfielder from Manchester City, following the player's initial statements upon his arrival in the Catalan capital on Monday.

Pending the formal signing of his 4-season contract, the MVP of the 2026 World Cup confirmed his commitment to immediately join the ranks of the Blaugrana team after his transfer was agreed upon for 76.5 million euros.

"We will go for the Champions League": Rodri's statements upon arriving in Barcelona

The international midfielder set the sporting goals for the season right after landing in the Catalan capital to undergo his medical examinations. "I am eager to start working with my teammates and to give my best to win everything. We will go for the Champions League and for each of the titles," declared the 30-year-old player to the present media.

Rodri's words reflect the ambition with which he takes command of the Blaugrana midfield to replace the absence of Frenkie de Jong. His association with FC Barcelona will be formally sealed for 4 seasons, extending the contract of the Madrid midfielder until June 2030.

The figures of the agreement reached between FC Barcelona and Manchester City

The verbal commitment expressed by the player comes after the financial understanding reached between both boards for 76.5 million euros (65.3 million pounds). The transfer structure establishes an initial payment of 60 million euros plus 16.5 million euros in easily achievable variable amounts for the British club.

Thus, Rodri closes his chapter in Manchester after accumulating 298 appearances, 28 goals, and 32 assists since his signing in 2019 for 70 million euros. The arrival of the midfielder allows the FC Barcelona board to enhance Hansi Flick's setup with the 2024 Ballon d'Or winner.

Rodri will visit the FC Barcelona medical center on the morning of Tuesday, August 18, to undergo the mandatory physical tests. Once the medical exams are validated, FC Barcelona will sign the contract with the player and schedule his first training session under Hansi Flick's guidance before the official presentation.
