Rodri to Barcelona is a ‘here we go’ as Man City agree €70m deal insider confirms Barcelona have reached a verbal agreement with Manchester City for Rodri, with the midfielder set to become one of the biggest signings in the club's recent history. “Rodri to Barcelona is a here we go. The deal is done for one of the most important players in the last 15 years of football, because we are talking about the Ballon d'Or, because we are talking about the best player of the last World Cup, because we are talking about a World Cup winner, because we are talking about a Euros winner, because we are talking about the man who won everything at Manchester City,” Romano told his YouTube channel. “When there are these kind of players who are really, really important legends of the club, if they decide to go, it's almost impossible to stop them. It's not class to stop them. “And Manchester City never wanted to block Rodri. They wanted to find the best solution financially for them, and that's why they rejected two proposals from Barcelona, €50 million and €60m, add-ons included. “So the first bid was €45m plus €5m. The second bid was €55m plus €5m, and now for €65m plus €5m, something more in the fixed part, but I will be more precise in the next hours, Barcelona have reached a verbal agreement with Manchester City for Rodri. “The deal is done. Barcelona are exchanging all the documents with Manchester City. This process will take hours, of course, so now the two clubs are in direct contact to finalise the deal, also from the official point of view. So they are exchanging all the paperwork, exchanging all the documents. “Rodri today was not with the Manchester City squad in Cardiff for the Community Shield. Obviously, he was never going to play because he just returned from holiday. So Rodri still needs to build his fitness after a fantastic World Cup and well-deserved holidays. “But the message was already quite clear. Rodri is known in the football industry because he's always been travelling with the Manchester City squad. Even when he was injured, he was on the bench, he was in the stands. He was always with the team, always supporting, always a captain in the sense of leadership rather than being the official captain only. “And Rodri today was not there. Rodri was not there because Barcelona and Manchester City closed the deal for Rodri to join Barcelona.” Why Rodri chose Barcelona over Real Madrid Romano explains that Real Madrid only seriously entered the race for Rodri later in the summer, by which point Barcelona had already convinced the midfielder to join them. “It's a massive story because Rodri was a target for Real Madrid only for a few weeks in the market. In June, Real Madrid were not going for Rodri. Florentino Perez was not happy for Rodri to be part of the election campaign wanted by Enrique Riquelme, the other candidate to become Real Madrid president,” Romano claimed. “Then, after the World Cup, Florentino Perez decided to give the green light for Real Madrid to try for Rodri. But then Rodri made a decision. It was almost 10 days ago. He decided to go to Barcelona. “He agreed on personal terms with Barcelona, and now the deal is done between Barca and Manchester City after the agreement. Real Madrid, Rodri and Real Madrid discussed for a long time, but then Barcelona entered the deal with Rodri and with his agent Pablo Barquero in a very strong way. “The contract is done. The salary is done. The paperwork has been prepared. Rodri next week will be in Barcelona and he's not going to be the only one because Joao Cancelo is also coming.” Joao Cancelo to Barcelona is also ‘here we go’ Romano also confirms that Joao Cancelo will return to Barcelona as a free agent after agreeing the termination of his contract with Al Hilal. “Deal done. Joao Cancelo to Barcelona. Everything done. Everything agreed,” Romano said. “Al Hilal terminated the contract of Joao Cancelo. Al Hilal understood that Cancelo didn't want to be there. They understood that Joao Cancelo was never going to consider any different option. “And so the agreement is on the termination of the contract. Joao Cancelo will join Barcelona as a free agent. Everything agreed.
