FC Barcelona Has Another Rodri Offer Rejected By Manchester City, Reports SPORT
Barcelona’s improved £55 million offer falls short of City’s £70 million valuation for the 30-year-old midfielder, who is entering the final year of his contract.
- Manchester City continues to demand an €80 million valuation for Rodri, despite Barcelona's recent verbal proposal of €60 million plus add-ons, with negotiations for the 30-year-old described as entering their "final stretch."
- Rodri snubbed Real Madrid, believing he would join the La Liga champions, after Barcelona's initial €46 million bid was rejected and a second offer reached €70 million.
- City requires Financial Fair Play room to fund a £120 million deal for Enzo Fernandez while negotiating with Lille for Ayyoub Bouaddi; club chiefs remain comfortable retaining the Spaniard if valuations are not met.
- With Rodri expected to report for pre-season training on Friday, Barcelona president Joan Laporta faces mounting pressure to bridge the valuation gap, while City manages a Friday 5pm UK deadline from Chelsea regarding Enzo Fernandez.
- The decorated midfielder enters the final 12 months of his contract, having won the World Cup, Euros, and Champions League alongside 13 trophies with City, including the Treble.
