Journalistic reports have revealed the latest developments in Barcelona club's contract with the Spaniard Rodri, the first-team footballer at Manchester City club, during the ongoing summer transfer window.
Rodri was one of Real Madrid club's main targets during the current mercato, but everything changed in the past two days and Barcelona entered the deal.
After Rodri was ready to play for Real Madrid and expressed his desire to do so, the situation completely changed after the White club's management delayed completing the deal.
Previous reports indicated that Rodri changed his mind after consultations with Barcelona players in the Spanish national team, who helped convince their captain to consider wearing the Barcelona shirt.
