'No guarantees' on Rodri deal - how do you feel about the situation?

[Getty Images] Manchester City have rejected Barcelona's opening offer of £38.5m for midfielder Rodri. The Premier League club are open to selling the Spaniard, but any deal would demand more than £60m. The 30-year-old has entered the final year of his contract at Etihad Stadium and is yet to sign a new deal, with speculation rife about his future this summer. It looked like Real Madrid would be his next destination, but La Liga rivals Barcelona are now leading the race. Sources told BBC Sport on Thursday that the club had the player's approval to open negotiations with City before an offer was made on Friday. Barcelona sources had initially told BBC Sport there were no guarantees any deal would be made, but the situation now looks to be developing. The club said on Friday that they are in ongoing conversations with the player's representatives and later made their opening offer. BBC sources say talks with Real Madrid have now ended. Approaching the second week of August in the transfer window, City will be aiming to resolve Rodri's future swiftly in order to sign a replacement. Talks are ongoing to sign 18-year-old Morocco midfielder Ayyoub Bouaddi from Lille, but the French club's £86m asking price appears to be a sticking point.
