Manchester City have rejected Barcelona’s third offer for Rodri as negotiations continue over the Spain midfielder. City remain fixed on an €80m valuation after previously turning down proposals around €50m and €70m, while Rodri prefers a Barcelona move.

The third rejection is a concrete escalation in a transfer saga that remains unresolved. Barcelona must decide whether to meet City’s valuation or walk away, while City risk eventually losing Rodri for nothing when his contract expires next year.

Paris Saint-Germain’s proposed €35m move for Parma goalkeeper Zion Suzuki has collapsed despite the clubs and player previously reaching agreements. PSG reportedly ended negotiations after Suzuki’s representatives introduced additional financial demands concerning commissions during the final stages of the deal.

Suzuki had already been booked to travel to Paris for a medical before negotiations broke down. PSG considered the new demands excessive and abandoned the transfer, leaving Matvey Safonov and Lucas Chevalier as their existing senior goalkeeping options.

Franck Kessie is closing in on an agreement to join Juventus after rejecting attempts from Al-Ahli to bring him back to Saudi Arabia. The free-agent midfielder is reportedly waiting on a three-year contract worth about €4.5m annually plus a signing bonus.

Juventus first need to create midfield space before registering the Ivory Coast international, with several existing players available to leave. Kessie can sign after the transfer deadline because he is unattached, reducing time pressure while Juventus restructure their squad.

The completion ends Romero’s five-year Tottenham spell after 156 appearances and converts the previously agreed transfer into a permanent move. He joins Diego Simeone after Tottenham authorised his departure and had already strengthened central defence with two summer additions.
