Barcelona preparing third bid for Rodri to Manchester City

Barcelona are not giving up on Rodri. According to Fabrizio Romano, the Blaugrana are preparing a third offer to Manchester City after their previous bids of €50m and €60m were rejected.

A fresh approach

This time, Barcelona's package would sit midway between €60m and €80m, seeking middle ground with the Premier League club. The Catalan side and Rodri's camp remain confident about the possibility of reaching a direct agreement between the two clubs.

Talks are ongoing, though there's no confirmation yet that Manchester City has accepted this new figure. Everything hinges on whether Pep Guardiola and his hierarchy view the proposal as sufficient to let go of one of their finest midfielders.
