Why Isn’t Rodri Playing for Manchester City Against Arsenal in the Community Shield?
Barcelona have made a third offer for the 30-year-old midfielder, and the clubs are now about £10 million apart, MARCA reported.
- On Sunday, Rodri did not travel with Manchester City for the Community Shield match against Arsenal amid ongoing transfer negotiations with Barcelona.
- Barcelona's latest offer of around £70 million remains below Manchester City's £80 million valuation, creating a £10 million gap in ongoing negotiations.
- Sporting directors Barcelona's Deco and Manchester City's Hugo Viana are working to close the remaining gap as Rodri has made his preference to join Barcelona clear.
- Since joining Manchester City from Atl in 2019, Rodri has played a central role in multiple Premier League titles and the 2023 Champions League.
- Barcelona seeks to finalize the deal before their Joan Gamper Trophy fixture, while Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca noted on Friday the club remains open to transfers.
