Barcelona’s €60 million bid for Rodri rejected by Manchester City

Barcelona are pushing to complete a deal for Manchester City midfielder Rodri before the new week, after increasing their offer to €65 million in fixed fees plus €5 million in add-ons and agreeing personal terms on a four-year contract. The Catalan club still faces a valuation gap of about €10 million, with City reported to want €80 million for the Spain international, who turned 30 in June and joined the Premier League club from Atlético Madrid in 2019. Rodri is described in the source as the 2024 Ballon d’Or winner, captain of the Spanish national team and a central figure in Spain’s recent World Cup victory. Barcelona’s push comes as an injury to Frenkie de Jong has weakened their midfield, and the club is targeting Monday to try to wrap up one of the summer’s biggest transfer deals. The new report materially advances the story from earlier rejected bids by showing Barcelona’s latest price, the remaining gap with City, and that Rodri has already agreed personal terms and reportedly prioritized a move to Camp Nou over Real Madrid.
