Barcelona negotiates transfer fee for Rodri with Manchester City

Barcelona is currently in discussions with Manchester City regarding the transfer of midfielder Rodri. Initially, Barcelona offered €45 million, increasing later offers to €60 million, with speculation they may need to reach €80 million to finalize the deal. Rodri, 30, has one year left on his contract and has faced injury issues, raising questions about the investment's long-term viability. Despite these concerns, Rodri is seen as a significant addition for Barcelona, especially following Robert Lewandowski's departure. The outcome of these negotiations could set a precedent for future transfers.
