FC Barcelona is finalizing the presentation of its third formal proposal of 60 million pounds (70 million euros) to Manchester City to sign Rodri, a 30-year-old midfielder. Barcelona's market has focused on Rodri's signing, awaiting the addition of a forward.

Despite the financial increase compared to the two previously rejected attempts by the British board, the new sum remains 10 million pounds below the fixed valuation of 70 million pounds (82 million euros) demanded at the Etihad Stadium.

Manchester City's Financial Demands and Rodri's Stance

Manchester City's leadership is willing to allow Rodri's departure to fulfill his desire to return to Spain after winning the 2026 World Cup. However, the English club's executives remain firm in their financial stance after deeming insufficient the previous proposals from the Catalan capital and Real Madrid's initial interest.

The 30-year-old midfielder chose to prioritize the Camp Nou option after Real Madrid withdrew from the bidding. The Manchester board demands reaching 70 million pounds to authorize the player's transfer, who is under contract in England until June 2027.

The Domino Effect on Enzo Fernández's Signing by Manchester City

The outcome of negotiations between FC Barcelona and the British club directly impacts Enzo Maresca's summer planning. Selling Rodri will provide the necessary liquidity for Manchester City to reinitiate the move for Enzo Fernández, for whom Chelsea demands a payment of 120 million pounds (139 million euros).

The London club maintains its price for the Argentine international and refused to lower its demands in parallel discussions. If the Barcelona board does not meet the financial requirements in Manchester, Maresca's planned midfielder restructuring will be halted before the market closes.

FC Barcelona's board will send the formal proposal of 60 million pounds to Manchester City's offices in the next 24 hours. The English board will evaluate whether to accept the 60 million pounds or formally demand payment of the remaining 10 million pounds to authorize the midfielder's journey to Spain before August 20, 2026.
