The story so far

A £65m deal confirms the move of Spain captain Rodrigo Hernández to FC Barcelona, effectively concluding his tenure at Manchester City. The transfer positions him as a successor to the role previously held by Busquets at the Spanish club.

Manchester City supporters have received a goodbye message from the midfielder as the club confirms the transition. Coverage does not yet specify the duration of the contract signed between the parties.

Interested observers are now tracking the integration of the World Cup star into the Barcelona squad and how Manchester City will adjust their team composition following the loss of the veteran player.
