Rodri is reportedly very close to leaving Manchester City, and Enzo Fernandez would be Enzo Maresca's dream signing to replace the Spaniard. Enzo Fernandez has emerged as Manchester City’s dream target to replace Rodri, according to transfers insider Gianluca Di Marzio, with new head coach Enzo Maresca identifying his former Chelsea player as the ideal successor for the departing Spanish midfielder. Rodri, 30, has reportedly made clear that his priority is a move to Barcelona, with City already rejecting an opening offer from the Catalan club. Talks between the two sides remain ongoing, with Spanish media putting the total package in the region of €60 million, including a €45 million upfront payment. Maresca, who worked closely with Fernandez during his time at Stamford Bridge, sees the Argentine as possessing the leadership, passing range, tactical intelligence and on-pitch personality needed to control matches from the center of the park. Chelsea, however, are firmly opposed to selling, viewing the 25-year-old as a cornerstone of their project. He remains under contract until 2032 and is valued at over £100 million, with a direct move to a Premier League rival likely to inflate that figure further. Enzo Fernandez of Chelsea.

According to Fabrizio Romano, negotiations for the 18-year-old Moroccan are moving into their final stages, with City already in agreement with the player on personal terms over a five-year deal, and reports placing the fee around €100 million. Unlike Fernandez, who profiles more as a forward-driving midfielder, Bouaddi operates as more of a tempo-setting playmaker — a style that matches with Rodri’s attributes at the midfield. Still, while City have the Bouaddi deal almost wrapped up, that doesn’t mean they won’t still try to go after the Argentine midfielder.
Rodri's agent Pablo Barquero revealed that he decided to join FC Barcelona despite Real Madrid's "unrefusable" offer. Rodri dominated soccer headlines on Thursday following reports of his decision to join FC Barcelona despite holding extensive contract talks with Real Madrid over recent weeks. With a transfer nearing completion, the star midfielder’s agent revealed that his client chose the Blaugrana despite receiving an offer from Los Blancos that was described as “unrefusable.” According to Cadena SER reporter Nil Sola, Rodri opened the door to joining Barcelona during the 2026 summer transfer window. Even though Real Madrid actively pursued his signature following the World Cup, with manager Jose Mourinho and club president Florentino Perez directly involved in recruiting efforts, Barcelona entered the race late to secure the high-profile commitment. Following a discussion with Pablo Barquero, Rodri’s agent, journalist Anton Meana shared details on why the midfielder ultimately selected Barcelona over Real Madrid: “The offer is really good; both the agent and Rodri appreciate the class, dignity, respect, and manner with which Madrid handled the negotiations.” Barquero highlighted just how invested Real Madrid’s front office was in landing his client. “Real Madrid made an unrefusable offer to Rodri after the World Cup. Madrid were serious about going after Rodri and put everything on the table so that he would play for Madrid. From their president down to the general director, everyone worked so that Rodri could play for Real Madrid,” he added. Rodri #16 of Spain lifts the FIFA World Cup Winner’s Trophy. (David Ramos/Getty Images) Under new manager Enzo Maresca, Manchester City were eager to retain Rodri as a cornerstone of its squad, but the midfielder’s contract situation, entering its final year through June 2027, forced the Premier League club to either secure an extension or sell him before losing him for free. With Rodri determined to return to Spain, Real Madrid launched a major bid for the World Cup champion, only for the player to lean toward their fiercest rivals. Despite Madrid’s persistent interest and lucrative package, Rodri’s camp officially communicated his choice to Los Blancos. “The conversations were positive and they have been negotiating over these past two weeks, but Rodri has made the decision to choose another offer, and he’s told them his decision,” the agent concluded. Final financial hurdles remain before official unveiling Rodri’s decision is reportedly finalized, and at 30 years old, the Spanish star is set to make his return to La Liga with Barcelona as his destination. According to Diario AS, personal terms are fully agreed upon, with the midfielder expected to sign a four-year contract featuring a €30 million (around $33 million USD) gross annual salary, though one final detail remains before finalizing the move. An official agreement on the transfer fee between Barcelona and Manchester City has yet to be finalized. Diario AS reports that the acquisition will cost roughly €60 million (around $66 million USD), a sum Barcelona can now accommodate after parting ways with high earners such as Robert Lewandowski, Marc-Andre ter Stegen, and Marcus Rashford, freeing up significant payroll flexibility to invest in a marquee signing like Rodri.
