Manchester City has rejected the second offer from FC Barcelona for the signing of Rodri Hernández, aged 30, setting the price at around 82 million euros to authorize his departure this summer. The new Barça proposal was around 65 million, an amount that remains below the English demands.

The English club's stance has toughened up a negotiation that had progressed over the past days. According to The Times, City has stated that it aims to receive 70 million pounds, which is approximately 82 million euros, to part with the midfielder.

Manchester City Rejects Second Offer for Rodri Hernández

FC Barcelona had significantly increased its initial offer. The first offer was around 45 million euros, while the second attempt ranged between 60 and 65 million euros fixed, with additional variables in the deal. Neither of the two amounts has convinced Manchester City.

Information published in England now establishes a much more specific economic benchmark. City wants around 82 million euros for Rodri Hernández and does not consider accepting proposals below that valuation at this point in the market. Daily Star and Daily Express also place that amount as the benchmark set by the English club.

However, the contractual situation partly explains the pressure on Manchester City. Rodri's contract ends on June 30, 2027, so he has entered the final year of his contract and could negotiate as a free agent with other clubs from January 2027 if he is not renewed or transferred before then. His current market value is 55 million euros.

FC Barcelona Will Need to Approach the 82 Million Mark

The gap between the parties is currently around 17 million euros, considering a second offer of 65 million and Manchester City's demand for 82 million. The next move depends on how much FC Barcelona is willing to increase its investment.

Rodri has taken positive steps towards a return to Spanish football in recent weeks. The midfielder has allowed Barça to initiate talks with his club, and various reports from England indicate his preference to join the Catalan team.

Manchester City has also started exploring alternatives for its midfield. The Times names Enzo Fernández among the options City is considering, although Chelsea is reportedly asking for around 120 million pounds for the Argentine.

For Barça, the operation is directly linked to their planning for LaLiga. The club wants to settle a negotiation affecting one of the key positions in their squad as soon as possible, but the second refusal forces a decision on whether to make a third financial effort.

The next move now lies in the hands of FC Barcelona: they will have to approach the 82 million euros set by Manchester City or try to introduce variables that would meet that valuation. Without an improved proposal, the departure of Rodri Hernández will remain blocked.
