Barcelona aims to finalize deal for Rodri contingent on Torres exit

Barcelona is in negotiations to sign Rodri from Manchester City, depending on the departure of Ferran Torres to PSG. Reports suggest that although Rodri has agreed to join Barcelona, the club has yet to finalize terms with Manchester City, and previous offers have been rejected. The situation has created concern among supporters as they await confirmation. Gerard Romero indicates that finalizing Torres' transfer could facilitate the Rodri deal, which is expected to cost around €60 million plus variables. With the season opener against Elche scheduled for August 23, Barcelona must expedite their transfer activities in the coming days.
