Softfootball reports that Barcelona has submitted a new verbal offer to Manchester City, proposing €60 million plus additional payments for Rodri as talks about the Spanish midfielder progress.
Manchester City maintains a strong stance on their asking price, which is around €80 million. Nevertheless, Barcelona remains optimistic about reaching an agreement, with both parties working towards a possible compromise.
Finding a middle ground between Barcelona’s €60 million offer and City’s €80 million demand may be crucial, especially as the arrangement of add-ons could help close the gap.
Earlier in the week, Softfootball shared that Manchester City had turned down Barcelona’s initial offer of approximately €45 million for Rodri, as the Premier League champions were initially expecting a fee near €75 million.
Discussions between the clubs are ongoing, with officials examining both the transfer’s value and its structure.
Rodri has expressed his intention to join Barcelona, and personal terms have already been settled. The final challenge lies in finalizing a financial agreement with Manchester City.
