After having signed Anthony Gordon quite early in the summer, and Karim Adeyemi a few weeks later, FC Barcelona are now set to complete more exciting signings in the coming days. The most notable of these is going to be that of the Manchester City midfielder Rodri Hernandez.

Recent reports indicate that the Blaugranes have already arrived at an agreement with both the player and his club for his signing. The Spanish midfielder is set to arrive at the Catalan city today, on Monday, and will undergo his medical tests on Tuesday.

If everything goes well in these two days, Diario AS reports that Barcelona are planning to present their new superstar signing on Wednesday, and this presentation will coincide with the Joan Gamper Trophy game.

This match will be played against the Egyptian side Al-Ahly, and traditionally serves as the presentation of the team for the upcoming season to the fans at Camp Nou. Thus, it will be a very good time to present one of their biggest signings of the summer.

Before that, Rodri will have to undergo his medical tests on Tuesday. These tests will be complemented with the reports of the tests he took when he returned to train with Manchester City a few days ago.

However, even after his presentation, Hansi Flick might still not be able to field the midfielder in the upcoming game against Elche, which will be their first official game of the 2026-27 season, mainly because the player had to undergo a back surgery after the World Cup.

Thus, the upcoming few days are going to be full of excitement for FC Barcelona fans, as they will see one of the very best performers in the last World Cup join their team, and his addition can prove to be crucial as the Catalans aim to win the UEFA Champions League next season.
