Barcelona take on Athletic Club for Matchday 2 of the 2026-27 LaLiga season, with Rodri starting this match on the bench.

While being one of the most highlighted signings of the summer, Rodri won't be taking part of FC Barcelona's debut game in the 2026-27 La Liga against Elche CF.

In his presentation as a Barcelona player, Rodri made it clear to Julian Alvarez that the door is open for him at the club.

FC Barcelona have agreed terms to sign Rodri from Manchester City. The Spain captain has arrived in Catalonia to finalize his move, emphasizing that winning the UEFA Champions League is his main priority.

With Rodri reportedly set to join Barcelona for a $87.8M fee, the lineup alongside Lamine Yamal and Pedri starts to take shape.

With an agreement with Barcelona yet to be reached, Manchester CIty boss Enzo Maresca stated that Rodri "will be back" to the Mancunian side until the deal is done.

A conversation involving one of the most influential coaches in Rodri's career may have helped shape the midfielder's thinking at a crucial stage of the negotiations.

Rodri is reportedly very close to leaving Manchester City, and Enzo Fernandez would be Enzo Maresca's dream signing to replace the Spaniard.

Rodri's agent Pablo Barquero revealed that he decided to join FC Barcelona despite Real Madrid's "unrefusable" offer.

The Spain international remains one of the biggest names on the transfer market, and the latest developments have introduced a surprising twist that could reshape the battle between Barcelona and Real Madrid.

Manchester City reportedly already have Ayyoub Bouaddi lined up as Rodri's replacement, depending on what the Spaniard decides about his future.

According to reports, Real Madrid have reportedly begun negotiations with Manchester City over Rodri, amid alleged interest from Barcelona and PSG in the Spaniard.

Rodri begins his recovery with Manchester City after undergoing back surgery, while Real Madrid follow his situation.

Rodrigo Hernandez comes from having an impressive 2026 World Cup, winning the MVP award. After this, he seems determined to leave Manchester City, receiving attention from PSG. However, he has reportedly decided to reject the offer, setting his sights on Real Madrid.

The race to sign Rodri from Manchester City includes Real Madrid, Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain.
