Rodri

Julián Álvarez is nearing an agreement to appoint a new representative, a move that reinforces his ties to Barcelona and complicates Arsenal's transfer strategy.

Barcelona have reached a closed agreement to extend Marc Bernal's contract until 2031, featuring a €500m release clause, as Liverpool pivot to other midfield targets.

Chelsea are evaluating Frenkie de Jong as a potential midfield addition, with the club monitoring his status at Barcelona following a period of injury recovery.

Hugo Viana says replacing club legends Bernardo Silva, John Stones, and Rodri was 'impossible' following their summer exits to Real Madrid, Inter Milan, and Barcelona.

Rodri has confirmed he contacted Real Madrid manager José Mourinho to personally explain his decision to join Barcelona after rejecting a move to the Santiago Bernabéu.

Enzo Maresca says record-breaking €95m teenage signing Ayyoub Bouaddi is ready for immediate first-team action as Manchester City rebuild their midfield.

Barcelona are adopting a careful minutes-management plan for new signing Rodri, with a 50-50 rotation with Marc Bernal expected to protect the midfielder after his summer back surgery.

Manchester City have reached an agreement in principle to sign Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez for a reported €140 million as they look to replace Rodri.
