Barcelona remain confident of signing Rodri despite Manchester City’s rejection of their opening offer, with Barça preparing an improved proposal for the midfielder.
Softfootball reported yesterday that Manchester City had rejected Barcelona’s opening bid of around €45 million, with the Premier League champions understood to be seeking a fee closer to €75 million for the Spanish midfielder.
Barcelona remain highly confident of completing a deal for Rodri despite Manchester City’s rejection of their opening proposal.
The Catalan club are not concerned by the initial setback and are preparing to submit a new, improved offer as they look to bridge the gap with City’s valuation. All parties involved remain convinced that an agreement can be reached soon.
Rodri has also made his position clear to Manchester City, informing the club with maximum respect that he wants to join Barcelona.
Barcelona are now ready to return with a higher proposal as they push to secure one of the biggest transfers of the summer.
With Rodri already agreeing personal terms, Barça believe the remaining issue is reaching a financial agreement with Manchester City.
