Rodri Joins Barcelona as Busquets' Successor

Spain's World Cup-winning captain Rodri has officially joined FC Barcelona, arriving at Camp Nou to become the natural successor to club legend Sergio Busquets. The midfielder completed his move from Manchester on a private jet, ending months of speculation about his future.

The 27-year-old international was tracked on his flight to Barcelona, contrasting with his earlier discreet return to Manchester on a Ryanair flight. Rodri's family accompanied him on the journey to Spain, where he will now wear the famous Blaugrana jersey and take on the responsibility of filling Busquets' significant shoes at the Catalan club. afnews.co.za
