Rodri is wanted by Barcelona and Real Madrid this summer as he prepares to leave Manchester City.
Spanish midfielder and World Cup winner Rodri has been at the heart of the summer transfer window, with links to Real Madrid being established over a month ago.
The Ballon d’Or winner is reportedly still making up his mind before the new campaign kicks off and transfer guru Fabrizio Romano revealed on Thursday morning that the decision is down to him entirely.
“The decision will be completely up to Rodri, as Real Madrid and Barcelona both ready to pay similar transfer fee to City.
“Rodri has been in negotiations with Real Madrid for weeks as priority but Barcelona positioned themselves as well while Madrid deal isn’t done yet.”
TalkSPORT journalist Alex Crook also stated that Barcelona are close to stealing Rodri away from La Liga rivals Madrid who have been slow to complete the deal for the 30 year old.
