Dinamo Zagreb has completed a permanent transfer for Dani Rodríguez, prying the young Spanish winger away from FC Barcelona’s reserve squad in a deal that includes a buy-back clause.

Rodríguez, born on August 9, 2005, in the Basque town of Astigarraga, is just 20 years old. His market value sits at approximately €1M.

From La Masia’s shadow to Zagreb’s spotlight

Rodríguez moved from Real Sociedad to Barcelona’s academy setup back in 2020, when he was just 15. By 2023, he had worked his way into Barça Atlètic, the club’s reserve team that competes in the Spanish lower divisions.

Barcelona extended his contract in August 2024, pushing the expiration date out to June 2027.
