Barcelona have returned to Manchester City with a third offer for Rodri after their first two proposals were rejected, according to Sportingpedia. The earlier bids were worth €50 million and €60 million respectively, while the latest proposal is reported to be around €70 million as City continue to seek €80 million.
Barcelona have increased their offer after the initial approaches failed to meet Manchester City's valuation. The gap between Barcelona's previous €60 million bid and City's reported €80 million asking price has remained the central issue in the negotiations.
The figure now under discussion is approximately halfway between those positions, putting the latest proposal at around €70 million. It remains unclear whether the amount includes performance-related bonuses.
Separately, Get Spanish Football News reported that transfer insider Ben Jacobs described the package under discussion as worth more than £60 million, or more than €70 million, and said Barcelona were optimistic about completing a deal.
Barcelona remain confident that an agreement can be reached soon, according to Sportingpedia. Rodri returned to Great Britain from Madrid after his holiday and is scheduled to resume training with Manchester City, although that may not happen if the clubs finalise a move quickly.
