Barcelona are ready to make a huge investment to secure the services of Spanish midfielder Rodri , in an operation that could be among the most sensational this summer.
The Catalan club is expected to pay 60 million euros for the transfer of the 30-year-old, while the player will be offered a four-year contract with a salary of 30 million euros gross per season, making him one of the highest-paid players in the team.
Rodri has communicated to Real Madrid's management his desire to join Barcelona.
However, he has shown full respect for the Madrid club, explaining that he did not have the necessary conviction to accept a transfer to the "Santiago Bernabéu".
In Valdebebas, Real Madrid's leaders have accepted the midfielder's decision without creating tension, as the club's philosophy is to only bring in footballers who are fully committed to the sporting project.
