Rodri set for Barcelona move after Manchester City approval

Spanish midfielder Rodri has received official clearance from Manchester City to travel to Barcelona on Monday, paving the way for his transfer to the Catalan club.

Journalist Fabrizio Romano reported that Barcelona's management has sent all the necessary documents to finalize the deal and arranged a private flight for the player this evening.

Barcelona officials have also scheduled Rodri's medical examination upon his arrival in the city, a step that will precede the official announcement of the signing.
