FC Barcelona has had another offer for Rodri<\/a> rejected by Manchester City according to SPORT<\/a> and other outlets, citing anonymous sources.<\/p>\n Bar\u00e7a\u2019s second offer<\/a> was for \u20ac60 million plus add-ons, which took the final proposed amount to \u20ac70 million.<\/p>\n This comes after a first bid of \u20ac46 million was knocked back<\/a> once talks with Real Madrid broke down and Rodri agreed to join<\/a> the Catalans.<\/p>\n The latest report from Catalonia confirms that by transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano. Earlier this week, Romano tweeted that \u201cBarcelona have already made a new verbal proposal to Manchester City for Rodri worth \u20ac60 million with add-ons\u201d. <\/p>\n \u201cMan City insist on a \u20ac80 million valuation to sell Rodri, Bar\u00e7a remains confident to close [the deal]. Half way between \u20ac60 million bid and \u20ac80 million can be the solution, with add-ons key,\u201d the Italian added, via his popular Twitter account.<\/p>\n SPORT said at that time that the Blaugrana didn\u2019t \u201cwant to reach \u20ac70 million\u201d for Rodri, but it now appears as though it has no choice. <\/p>\n Rodri is getting more expensive for FC Barcelona<\/p>\n City appears to be holding out for \u20ac80 million indeed. It wants that figure to be hit for the World Cup winner and Best Player at the tournament with Spain even if the rest is made up in objectives.<\/p>\n Negotiations for the 30-year-old are described as entering their \u201cfinal stretch\u201d, and seems as if Sporting Director Deco might have to offer something like \u20ac65 million plus \u20ac15 million in add-ons or \u20ac70 million plus \u20ac10 million in bonuses such as perhaps winning the Champions League.<\/p>\n One important sidenote is that City has been set a Friday 5pm UK deadline by Premier League rivals Chelsea to sign Enzo Fernandez.<\/p>\n That deal is said to cost \u00a3120 million, and the Mancunians need the Financial Fair Play leg room to pull it off.<\/p>\n This should make them keen to get something for Rodri sorted soon, and he could perhaps be a Bar\u00e7a player by the end of the week ready to star in the Joan Gamper Trophy match against Al-Ahly on August 19.<\/p>\n Under Hansi Flick<\/a>, Rodri could play a number of midfield positions depending on the formation, but either behind or by the side of FC Barcelona number 8 Pedri<\/a>, his Spain teammate, are the most likely layouts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"FC Barcelona has had another offer for Rodri rejected by Manchester City according to SPORT and other outlets,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":70084,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[8642,92,942,943,1325,223,930,272,664,1102,17],"class_list":["post-70083","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-barcelona","tag-al-ahly","tag-barcelona","tag-chelsea","tag-enzo-fernandez","tag-fabrizio-romano","tag-fc-barcelona","tag-hansi-flick","tag-manchester-city","tag-pedri","tag-rodri","tag-spain"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/70083","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=70083"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/70083\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/70084"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=70083"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=70083"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=70083"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
