Follow usManchester City already rejected Barcelona’s opening bid for Rodri several days ago, worth 50 million euros. The Sky Blues rejected it immediately.
Today, the Catalan side has presented 2nd bid for the MVP of the World Cup in North America last month. However, the English team rejected it again as they want more than 60 million euros for their midfielder.
The team from Etihad is willing to sell Rodri only for at least 70 million euros with bonuses. It is expected that Barcelona will try to sign Rodri until the end of the summer window, which means that they will make their 3rd bid soon.
At the same time, Real Madrid are quiet, as they were favorites for the Spanish player and were very close to reaching an agreement with Man City before Barcelona entered the race for Rodri, who prefers to play for the Catalan side, which is what affected his transfer to Los Blancos.
