Rodri Leaves City for Barcelona | Belfast News

Manchester City just shipped out their midfield maestro Rodri to Barcelona for a staggering £65.4 million — a deal that shocked the football world after months of back-and-forth. Rodri, who’s lifted four Premier League titles, a Champions League final winner’s medal, and just won the World Cup with Spain, was deemed “a top player” by City’s new boss Enzo Maresca — but even he couldn’t sway Rodri to stay. The Spaniard’s injury woes — including ACL surgery and multiple muscle issues — may have played a role in the move. City, already splashing cash on Elliot Anderson and preparing to offload Reijnders, are clearly building for life without Rodri. Barcelona now face the challenge of integrating him into their squad — and this blockbuster transfer is already reshaping the market.
