Manchester City: Rodri, FC Barcelona joins the race

The best player of the 2026 World Cup is attracting the attention of Europe's biggest clubs.

Having been named the best player of the 2026 World Cup, Rodri is one of the hottest names of this summer transfer window. The midfielder is now just a year away from the end of his contract with Manchester City. For the moment, Real Madrid leads the race, having already reached an agreement with the player.

Meanwhile, PSG has also made contact with the Sky Blues, who remain determined to extend their midfield maestro's contract. But in the last few hours, another contender has entered the fray: FC Barcelona. According to RMC Sport, the Catalan club is searching for a new midfield orchestrator following Frenkie de Jong's injury.

Barcelona's interest could even prompt the Spanish international to reconsider his options.
