Manchester City, Barcelona and Rodri
Friday
Manchester City are set to reject Barcelona’s opening offer for Rodri after the Spanish club entered direct negotiations. Barcelona proposed €45m plus €15m in add-ons, while City are demanding €65m for the Spain international this summer.
Rodri has reportedly agreed personal terms and informed Real Madrid that Barcelona is now his preferred destination. The bid represents a concrete escalation from earlier interest, but Barcelona must still bridge City’s valuation gap to complete the transfer.
