Manchester City midfielder Rodri has identified a specific Barcelona match as his target for a potential return to the Catalan club, according to reports from Spanish football media. The Spain international, who came through Barcelona's youth academy before moving to Villarreal and later Atlético Madrid and Manchester City, is said to have pencilled in a fixture in November 2026 for a possible comeback.
The 28-year-old defensive midfielder has established himself as one of the world's best in his position under Pep Guardiola at City, winning multiple Premier League titles and the UEFA Champions League. A return to Barcelona would represent a significant homecoming for the player who left the club's youth system in 2013.
No official negotiations or agreements have been announced between the clubs or the player's representatives. Rodri remains under contract with Manchester City, where he has been a key figure in their recent domestic and European success.
