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. Rodri has landed in Spain to join FC Barcelona after the club agreed to a transfer fee of approximately $88.4 million (€76.5 million). Upon his arrival, the former Manchester City midfielder shared his top priority: winning the UEFA Champions League. While the signing is yet to be made official by the club, Rodri has already arrived for his medical tests with Barcelona. The midfielder expressed his excitement to join the squad and fight for every trophy this season. “It’s a dream for me to be here,” Rodri told media at the Barcelona airport. “I am looking forward to working with my teammates and giving my best to win it all. We will go for the Champions League and for every title.” Barcelona have an elite roster to fight for the UCL A sixth UEFA Champions League title continues to elude Barcelona, but a standout summer transfer window makes many believe this could finally be the year for the Blaugrana to lift the trophy. Rodri has joined FC Barcelona Joao Cancelo, Anthony Gordon, Karim Adeyemi, and Rodri are among the high-profile additions brought in this summer. While securing a natural center-forward remains a priority, the attack features immense depth across the front line. Rodri’s arrival is set to reshape Barcelona’s starting XI. Fresh off winning the Golden Ball at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, the midfielder anchors what many view as one of Europe’s premier central units. What number will Rodri wear at Barcelona? According to Fabrizio Romano, Rodri requested the No. 16 jersey. Young midfielder Fermin Lopez agreed to vacate the shirt, taking over the No. 7 jersey previously worn by Ferran Torres prior to his move to PSG.

Joao Cancelo has completed his long-awaited return to FC Barcelona, after terminating his contract with Saudi Pro League outfit Al Hilal, and the full-back expressed his emotion upon arrival. Barcelona are making their final acquisitions to prepare for the 2026–27 season. Joao Cancelo has landed in Spain, and upon his arrival, he shared his true feelings about his return to the club. With Rodri’s signing, Barcelona’s starting lineup is set to undergo significant tactical adjustments. Joao Cancelo can operate on both flanks, providing Hansi Flick with elite versatility on either side of the defense. Cancelo requested that Al Hilal terminate his contract early, paving the way for his return to Barcelona. The Portuguese defender was determined to rejoin the Spanish side and expressed his delight about embarking on his second stint with the Blaugrana. “We have a top team this season! I am finally where I wanted to be,” Cancelo said at his arrival to Barcelona. “I spent already one week training hard to be ready for Barca.” Barcelona still await a striker While the additions of Rodri, Joao Cancelo, Karim Adeyemi, and Anthony Gordon significantly bolster the squad, Barcelona currently lack a recognized natural central striker for the upcoming campaign. Joao Cancelo of FC Barcelona Julian Alvarez remains the primary target, but Atletico Madrid are reluctant to entertain offers. Sporting CP’s Luis Suarez remains another candidate, though his release clause presents a major hurdle as options narrow. Following the departures of Robert Lewandowski and Ferran Torres, Barcelona continue to seek a suitable replacement. Hansi Flick could deploy Anthony Gordon down the middle, though the Englishman’s best performances have consistently come from the left wing. As of today, the club are set to kick off their LaLiga campaign without a natural number nine. However, the front office are working endlessly to secure a center-forward and prevent Hansi Flick from needing to experiment with makeshift options.
Paul Scholes has questioned Chelsea’s transfer strategy this summer (Picture: The Overlap) Paul Scholes has accused Chelsea of going from one extreme to the other with their transfer strategy during the summer window. Xabi Alonso’s appointment as Liam Rosenior’s permanent successor has coincided with a significant change in direction for a club that endured another chaotic season last term that saw the Blues fail to qualify for Europe. As such, Chelsea have largely relented from signing untried youngsters from Europe and South America, instead focusing their recruitment drive on Premier League proven players. The arrivals of Morgan Rogers and Maxence Lacroix typify that new approach, driven by Alonso whose job description as manager, rather than head coach, is no coincidence.

Indeed, the former Liverpool and Real Madrid midfielder made it clear he would only accept his new role on the proviso he would have a greater say on incomings and outgoings. Having been forced to abandon his pursuit of Granit Xhaka, Alonso has had a major hand in the shock signings of Danny Welbeck and Jordan Henderson, who will both be expected to assume senior leadership roles in a dressing room that has sorely missed those qualities, particularly since the departure of Thiago Silva. Chelsea collected a record eight red cards last season and regularly threw away leads, but Scholes has questioned how much of an impact their two new veterans will have if they aren’t on the pitch regularly. Chelsea tried to sign Granit Xhaka earlier this summer (Picture: Getty) He told The Overlap Fan Debate: ‘Those two older players, it feels you’ve gone from one extreme to another, I can’t get my head around it. ‘You’ve got a load of 21-year-olds, alright get some more experience at 28 or 29 but they’re like 37 or 38. ‘I get the Xhaka one, he’s still a good player and he was brilliant in the World Cup. ‘I think that’s where he’ll expect the most and that’s where they’re going to have most influence on the training pitch because they’re not going to be playing all the time, especially Henderson. ‘Welbeck will still come on but that’s where they’re going to be most valuable. Look if Chelsea have got money to waste doing that then it’s down to them isn’t it.’ Jordan Henderson joined Chelsea from Brentford (Picture: Getty) Those sentiments were echoed by Jamie Carragher who was particularly puzzled by the signing of his former Liverpool teammate Henderson. The ex-Liverpool captain, now 36, has endured something of a nomadic career since leaving Anfield three years ago with his career taking in brief spells at Al-Ettifaq, Ajax and Brentford. ‘I find it strange because I think the signing from Crystal Palace is really good,’ said Carragher of Chelsea’s decision to bring Henderson and Welbeck to the club. ‘You’ve got a lot of young centre backs, he comes in, he knows the league and he’s an experienced player. ‘But you’re talking about the issue on the pitch in terms of red cards and losing leads, throwing leads away. How much are they going to be on the pitch, Henderson and Welbeck? ‘That’s my point, if they were 28 or 29 say like Tielemans in that age bracket. I know they’re going to be great on the training pitch and we’ll be getting hit with those stories if Chelsea make a great start it’ll be Henderson and Welbeck are great in the dressing room. Danny Welbeck joined Chelsea from Brighton (Picture: Getty) ‘In terms of helping Chelsea with discipline which Chelsea need or helping see games out they could come on the last 10 or 15 minutes of games. But what Chelsea need help with is that experience on the pitch. ‘I understood Henderson going to the World Cup. People said he’s not going to play that much, but it’s only a six-week tournament, there’s going to be players who don’t play but when you’ve
