Manchester City have accepted a £65.4 million ($88.47 million) bid from Barcelona ​for their World Cup-winning Spain midfielder ‌Rodri, British media reported on Sunday.

The 2024 Ballon d'Or winner has agreed a ​four-year deal with the Spanish ​champions, Sky Sports said, and will ⁠head to the Nou Camp ​to complete the transfer next week.

Rodri ​won 12 major honours at City including four Premier League titles, two FA Cups, ​three League Cups and the ​Champions League after 298 appearances in seven seasons ‌at ⁠The Etihad.

Rodri, who joined City from Atletico Madrid for a then-club record £62.8 million in 2019, had one ​year left ​on his ⁠contract and City had wanted him to sign ​an extension.

The 30-year-old missed City's 3-0 ​loss ⁠to Arsenal in the Community Shield on Sunday, having only returned to ⁠the ​club's training ground on ​Friday following minor back surgery. (Reuters, 2026-08-17)
