Rodri Hernández, a 30-year-old midfielder from Manchester City, remains on Real Madrid's transfer list despite advances from FC Barcelona for his signing. The white club has a proposal of €40 million fixed and €40 million in variables, while City aims to receive at least €75 million for the Spanish international.

The Barcelona deal is not yet closed, and their economic conditions may bring Real Madrid back into play. According to journalist Eduardo Segovia, Barça needs to make sales before meeting English club's demands.

Rodri Hernández forces FC Barcelona to rethink

FC Barcelona is pursuing Rodri but must find a deal that satisfies Manchester City. Barça intends to offer €50 million fixed and €25 million in variables, a structure presently not convincing the English club.

Barça's financial situation limits their maneuverability. This summer, they acquired Anthony Gordon for €70 million fixed and €10 million in variables, followed by Karim Adeyemi for €22 million and €7 million in bonuses.

One potential income source could be the departure of Ferran Torres, who has attracted interest from Paris Saint-Germain. However, Barça must also assess the need to reinforce their attack after Robert Lewandowski's departure, meaning that not all funds may go towards Rodri.

Manchester City is in a strong negotiating position. The midfielder's contract expires on June 30, 2027, with recent reports indicating City's demands around €75 million.

Real Madrid still hopeful with Rodri

Real Madrid maintains its offer for Rodri Hernández

While Barcelona works on finalizing the deal, Real Madrid remains attentive. According to Eduardo Segovia, Florentino Pérez has a proposal up to €80 million, split into €40 million fixed and €40 million in variables.

The offer composition could be a negotiating point with Manchester City. The English club had held talks with Madrid in July, initially considering an even higher valuation for the player.

Rodri's contract situation will influence negotiations until the transfer window closes. If he doesn't renew, he will enter the final contract year and could negotiate freely with other clubs from January 2027.

Getting Closer to Barcelona

The Spanish international, recently crowned world champion and tournament's best player, underwent minor back surgery in July. Despite this, Manchester City stated he should be ready for the 2026/27 season.

FC Barcelona retains chances to make the deal, but must first make their financial offer acceptable to City. The discrepancy between Barça's proposed fixed amount and the English club's demands keeps Real Madrid in the picture.

Therefore, Rodri Hernández will remain a key player in the coming market weeks. If Barcelona cannot finance the deal or reach the €75 million requested by Manchester City, Real Madrid's next move will depend on City's willingness to negotiate the variables included in the €80 million offer.
