Rodri Hernández, a 30-year-old midfielder, is closer to becoming a player for FC Barcelona after the Catalan club raised its third offer to around 70 million euros to Manchester City. Barça is confident that this proposal will help finalize the transfer in the final stretch of the market.

Negotiations have progressed after two attempts that did not convince the English club. The first offer from Barça was at 45 million euros, while the second reached approximately 60 million euros. Both were rejected, prompting the Catalan club to increase its bid.

The new offensive places the operation around 70 million euros, a figure that brings the parties closer but still requires the final approval of Manchester City. Sources consulted by ESPN indicate that the English club values the player above that amount.

FC Barcelona sees this third proposal as an important move to unlock negotiations that have dragged on for the past few days. According to AS, the City representatives handling the talks are Ferran Soriano and Hugo Viana, while Barça awaits a response to its latest offer.

Rodri Hernández's willingness also favors the Catalan club. The Spanish international has expressed his intention to leave England and has reportedly reached an agreement on personal terms with Barça. The proposed contract would be for four seasons.

Rodri returned to England this week after his post-World Cup vacation and rejoined City's dynamics. Enzo Maresca, the new coach of the English team, avoided publicly guaranteeing his continuity when asked about the midfielder's future.

Manchester City maintains Rodri Hernández's price

The main obstacle remains economic. Manchester City rejected the first two proposals and maintains a valuation above 70 million euros. Sky Sports reported this week that the club demanded over 70 million pounds, an amount equivalent to over 82 million euros. Barcelona offered around 60 million euros, but has now decided to increase this amount.

The potential signing would also mark Rodri Hernández's return to Spanish football seven years after his move to England in 2019. The midfielder would return to LaLiga after spending the last stage of his career in the Premier League.

His arrival would also strengthen the midfield of the current LaLiga champion. Reuters specifically includes the Rodri operation among the moves with which Barça aims to bolster its squad before the start of the new season.

The next step now depends on the English response. Barça hopes that the approximately 70 million euros of this third offer will be sufficient to reach an agreement, although the gap between valuations has not yet been bridged. If City maintains its demand above that amount, FC Barcelona will have to decide whether to further improve the conditions to definitively close the signing of Rodri Hernández.
