Manchester City midfielder Rodri Hernández has agreed to personal terms with FC Barcelona, who are now negotiating with the English club and leading the race to sign him, according to reports from MARCA, Fabrice Hawkins and Fabrizio Romano.
Rodri’s preference now is to play for Barcelona, as revealed by The Athletic.
The Barcelona project is understood to appeal to Rodri based on the fit with their footballing style and an expected smooth adaptation to a dressing room where he would be reunited with eight members of Spain’s World Cup winning squad: Joan Garcia, Eric Garcia, Pau Cubarsi, Gavi, Dani Olmo, Pedri, Ferran Torres and Lamine Yamal.
