💸 Manchester City reject Barça's first bid for Rodri

💸 Manchester City reject Barça's first bid for Rodri Manchester City rejected FC Barcelona’s first offer for Rodri this morning, according to Fabrizio Romano and Ben Jacobs (Givemesport). The bid was €45 million, although Fabrizio Romano claims that Barça offered €45 million plus €5 million in add-ons. Either way, Manchester City still considers it too low. In fact, according to Jacobs, the English side are asking for €75 million to green-light the deal. Barça will have to improve their offer if they want to move the transfer forward. Rodri is a key part of Enzo Maresca’s project, and his departure would be a significant blow to City in midfield. Barça’s interest is nothing new and reflects their desire to strengthen the middle of the park with a proven player. The Catalan club remain optimistic and are already working on a second financial proposal. Rodri and Barcelona, meanwhile, have already reached a personal agreement on the terms of the contract. Negotiations between the two clubs now hinge on that new Barça offer. The outcome will depend on whether the figures come close to the €75 million City are demanding.
