Barcelona monitors Rodri's situation amid Real Madrid interest

Barcelona is assessing its interest in Manchester City midfielder Rodri while awaiting clarification on the player's intentions. Currently, it's believed Rodri prefers a move to Real Madrid, which has led Barcelona to prioritize signing a striker instead. However, should he express a desire to join Barcelona, the club would consider a serious pursuit, particularly due to Frenkie de Jong's injury. Any potential transfer would require a fee of €60-65 million, with Barcelona emphasizing that the next move depends on Rodri himself. The situation remains fluid as Barcelona holds back until they receive a clear signal from the player.
