Rodri has arrived in Barcelona ahead of completing his highly anticipated move from Manchester City to the Catalan giants. The Spain midfielder was greeted with huge attention on Monday as he prepared to finalise a transfer that has been one of the biggest stories of the summer. Reports indicate that Barcelona have agreed a package worth around £65m for the 28-year-old, who is set to sign a long-term contract.

Speaking after landing in Barcelona, Rodri described playing for Barça as a dream and immediately set his sights on the Champions League. The move represents a major blow for Manchester City, who are losing one of the most influential midfielders of the Pep Guardiola era. Rodri leaves England after becoming central to City's success, while Barcelona will hope his experience, composure and leadership can help them challenge for European football's biggest prize.
