FC Barcelona are not letting up in their efforts to sign Rodri in this transfer window. However, the Blaugrana sporting department has once again run into the firm stance of Manchester City, who have no intention of parting with the Spanish midfielder at just any price.
According to journalist Ben Jacobs, the English club has formally rejected Barça’s second offer, which amounted to around £55 million (approximately €64 million). The Premier League side’s executives believe that figure does not reflect the true value of their player.
Despite this rejection, the line of communication between the two clubs remains open. Both parties continue talks in search of common ground that benefits both institutions, in a negotiation that promises to intensify in the coming hours.
The arrival of the international holding midfielder is a priority to strengthen the Barça tactical setup ahead of the season. The coaching staff consider it essential to have a player of his calibre to bring balance and help play out from the back.
From the Camp Nou offices, they are already considering the possibility of submitting a third financial proposal that comes closer to the demands set by the British club. The upcoming meetings will be key in determining whether the deal reaches a successful conclusion.
