Spain's World Cup-winning captain Rodri has completed his transfer to FC Barcelona, arriving at Camp Nou as Busquets' successor.

Rodri, who captained Spain to World Cup glory, made the move from Madrid to Barcelona on Monday evening, traveling with his family on a private jet. The midfielder had been seen at Madrid airport just days earlier boarding a Ryanair flight to Manchester, suggesting a brief stay in the UK to say goodbye.

The 26-year-old is expected to fill the void left by Busquets, who recently departed after a long career with the club. sports24.club
