Transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano is reporting that Manchester City star midfielder Rodri is considering offers from both Real Madrid and FC Barcelona:
🚨🔵🔴 Barcelona have made contact with Rodri’s camp and also with Manchester City about possible move.
Real Madrid have been in talks with City for weeks but #MCFC didn’t accept to proceed immediately as felt more clubs were joining the race.
Up to the player. 🇪🇸
Romano would later check in with additional information the potential big decision:
🚨🇪🇸 The decision will be completely up to Rodri, as Real Madrid and Barcelona both ready to pay similar transfer fee to City.
Rodri has been in negotiations with Real Madrid for weeks as priority but Barcelona positioned themselves as well while Madrid deal isn’t done yet.
Later, Romano would check in to say that Rodri has given his blessing for a move to FC Barcelona, which is a little wild if true (considering how long Real Madrid spent trying to get Rodri):
🚨🔵🔴 Rodri has spoken to Deco and Hansi Flick and gave his green light to Barcelona in order to proceed in talks.
Official contract proposal already in Rodri’s agent hands and Barça also made contact with Manchester City.
Operation Rodri: full speed for FCB. 💥
Finally, Romano posted that Rodri has officially made up his mind to join Barca:
It still remains to be seen what actually happens here, but FC Barcelona swooping in again at the last minute for a transfer steal would be wild. Bayern Munich fans remember how Hansi Flick’s club jumped into the fray late for Anthony Gordon after months of the Bavarians leading the chase and won the battle.
