Journalist Romano released a new video on his podcast channel, discussing transfer rumors surrounding Manchester City midfielder Rodri.

Romano said: "We have to talk about Rodri, because this is another major focus today, and it's a big story for Real Madrid fans and Barcelona fans. Barça fans are very enthusiastic about it, while Real Madrid fans, who initially hoped Rodri would join them, now see this player moving further away from them."

"There is no doubt that Barça has taken action to push this deal forward as quickly as possible. There is only one reason why they want to move fast, and that is to avoid any surprises at the last minute. Barça has been quietly preparing for Rodri's arrival behind the scenes for some time, and they want to avoid any problems and potential complications. Now, the prospect of Rodri joining Barça has created incredible buzz and excitement. Today, Barça has made an official offer to Rodri and his agents, and Barça has also contacted Manchester City, informing them that they are negotiating with Rodri."

"So what is Barça waiting for now? Barça is waiting for Rodri to formally communicate with Manchester City through his agent or directly himself. As a great Manchester City legend, Rodri has an excellent relationship with Manchester City, so Barça hopes and waits for Rodri to tell Manchester City directly: 'I have made my decision, I am joining Barcelona.' Once this step is completed, both clubs can formally proceed and finalize the deal."

"Real Madrid indicated last week that they were ready to pay a €50 million transfer fee for Rodri, but Real Madrid's indication now is that they feel very far from Rodri. This is because Rodri has opened the door to Barça for the first time and given Barça the green light to negotiate."

"Rodri has spoken with Barcelona coach Hans Flick and sporting director Deco. Deco has done an outstanding job in facilitating this deal and opening the door, and now the door for negotiations is completely open. Next, the player himself has also had conversations with Hans Flick. It is clear that Barcelona has involved everyone – the player, the coach, and the director – everyone is working hard to recruit Rodri."

"Now the green light is on, the door to the deal is open, and after Rodri formally tells Manchester City his decision, the rest will depend on negotiations between Barça and Manchester City. This is indeed a very significant and unexpected development, as Barça now has a real chance to recruit Rodri, something that was almost unthinkable two or three weeks ago."

"But don't forget what happened a week ago: at that time, Manchester City was not willing to reach a deal with Real Madrid at all, because a week ago Manchester City had a feeling that another club would join the race, which is why when Real Madrid came last week with a genuine €50 million offer for official negotiations and stated their readiness to pay, Manchester City did not say 'Okay, let's finalize the deal'. Manchester City said at the time 'Let's wait a bit longer', because perhaps more clubs would join the battle. And now, Barça is truly in the leading position to sign Rodri."
