Current summary
Rodri has made his debut for Barcelona, confirming the signing.
Rodri makes his debut for Barça. The kind of signing that gets fans excited. When @orioldomenech revealed on July 27 that Barcelona had sounded him out, almost nobody saw him in blaugrana and many thought it was a tactic to drive up the price of a Madrid signing. It wasn’t.
