Rodri approves Barcelona transfer talks with Man City: Barca source to AFP
- On Thursday, Spain midfielder Rodri authorized Barcelona to open transfer negotiations with Manchester City, effectively sidelining Real Madrid's reported interest in the 30-year-old player.
- Barcelona captain Frenkie de Jong suffered a serious knee injury requiring surgery, which could sideline the Dutchman for four to five months, prompting the club to seek a replacement.
- Manchester City reportedly demands at least 50 million euros for the transfer, though the club is willing to let Rodri go for around 60 million euros with one year left on his contract.
- Barcelona manager Hansi Flick reportedly convinced Rodri during a phone call, shifting momentum away from Real Madrid; officials at the rival club grew pessimistic by Wednesday about signing the midfielder.
- Despite Rodri's authorization, a club source clarified there is "no guarantee" the transfer will proceed, and Barcelona must finalize terms with Manchester City to complete the acquisition.
