According to Sport this Friday, FC Barcelona is getting closer to Manchester City's demands for the transfer of Rodri.

This information was confirmed shortly after by transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano. The journalist reports that a third offer, estimated at €70 million, has been submitted by the Blaugrana.

🚨🚨| NEW: In total, Rodri should cost Barcelona a whopping €210M.

→ €80M Transfer fee
→ €15M salary per year for 4 years

With commissions (bonuses, incentives), the deal should exceed €210M.

However, Manchester City's Sky Blues are still holding out for nearly €80 million for their midfielder. This is despite just one year left on his contract, but that hasn't stopped Barça from remaining quite optimistic.

🚨🔵🔴 Barcelona are returning with third proposal for Rodri to Manchester City.

After €50m and €60m packages both rejected, direct club to club talks to continue half way between €60m last bid and €80m fee requested.

The best player of the 2026 World Cup has requested not to return to training until an agreement is reached between the two clubs. The outcome seems near for Rodri.
