Rodri has given Barcelona the go-ahead to begin talks with Manchester City as they try to beat Real Madrid to a deal for the midfielder, a source has told ESPN.
Madrid had been in talks with the player's representatives since last month but, after several days without any progress, Barça had now taken the lead in the race to sign Spain's World Cup-winning captain, the source said.
Another source told ESPN that Rodri's camp believed Madrid had shown the necessary commitment to reach an agreement.

Why does Bruno Guimarães wear No. 39? 🇧🇷
Bruno’s dad was a taxi driver in Rio, and his taxi carried the number 039.
That taxi helped put food on the table, buy Bruno’s clothes and fund his journey to professional football.
While on loan at Athletico Paranaense, Bruno was handed the No. 39 shirt by the kit man without ever asking for it. A sign that he should keep the number close to him.
He’s worn it ever since.
“The number 39 gave me everything in life.” ❤️
