Barcelona is set to make a third offer for Rodri as discussions progress with Manchester City regarding the Spanish midfielder.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Catalan club has previously had bids in the region of \u20ac50 million and \u20ac60 million turned down by City, yet they remain optimistic about reaching an agreement.<\/p>\n

Ongoing club-to-club talks have Barcelona aiming to find a middle ground between their most recent \u20ac60 million proposal and City’s \u20ac80 million asking price.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Softfootball reports that Manchester City has turned down Barcelona\u2019s second bid of approximately \u00a355 million for Rodri, with the difference in valuations posing a significant challenge to the transfer.<\/p>\n

Barcelona is expected to enhance their bid as they seek to persuade City to reduce their price and enable Rodri’s return to Spain.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The 30-year-old midfielder has reportedly settled on personal terms with Barcelona and appears to prefer this transfer. He has been in talks with the club for several weeks, and Barcelona continues to strive for a deal they believe can be finalized.<\/p>\n

The forthcoming proposal may be pivotal as both teams edge closer to a potential agreement on the transfer fee.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
