Barcelona are reportedly laying the groundwork for an £80m swoop for key Manchester City player Rodri.
Pep Guardiola has confirmed with his team selections over the last couple of seasons that the 26-year-old defensive midfielder is a key player in the City squad. Despite a couple of under-par performances in recent weeks, Rodri has remained at the heart of the Blues' midfield with Kalvin Phillips struggling to break into the first team ahead of him.
However, according to Football Insider, Barca are keen to bring the midfielder to La Liga in a multi-million pound swoop. The report suggests that the Catalan club's manager Xavi is a big admirer of the City player.
