Rodri rejects Real Madrid and negotiations with Barcelona progress

Rodri, a midfielder for Manchester City, has made the decision to reject Real Madrid's offer and has accepted proposals from FC Barcelona, according to reports from El País. This decision has surprised many, as the player had been seriously considering a move to the white club.

The player has stated that he feels attracted to the playing style that Barcelona promotes, which he considers more aligned with what he has experienced both with the Spanish national team and Manchester City. It is noted that the Barça dressing room includes nine Spanish internationals, which may have influenced his decision.

The news of this shift in negotiations includes statements from Madrid fans. Supporters of Real Madrid have expressed their outrage to 20minutos, describing the situation surrounding the Spanish midfielder's future as 'regrettable'.

Rodri's choice comes shortly after winning the World Cup with the Spanish national team, which has added more attention to his next step in his football career.

The announcement regarding his signing with Barcelona has yet to be officially confirmed, but negotiations are ongoing and are expected to be finalized in the near future.
