Barcelona Face Setback in Pursuit of World Cup-Winning Midfielder
Manchester City have rejected a reported £55 million bid from Barcelona for Rodri, as the Spanish giants continue their efforts to bring the midfielder to Camp Nou.
Barcelona have already seen an earlier offer rejected and are expected to keep pushing for the 30-year-old Spain international.
City, however, are reportedly seeking a higher fee, with their valuation understood to be around £60m–£70m.
Rodri remains a key figure in City's midfield, but reports suggest he is open to a return to Spain and has a preference for Barcelona.
For Barcelona fans, the major question is whether the club can raise enough funds to meet City's valuation and complete one of the summer's biggest transfers.
