Barcelona sets €70M limit for Rodri signing from Manchester City

Barcelona has established a maximum spending limit of €70 million for the transfer of Manchester City midfielder Rodri this summer. The La Liga champions had their second official bid of €60 million rejected by City, as negotiations continue to find a mutually agreeable deal. Barcelona's move for Rodri comes in response to Frenkie de Jong's long-term injury, which has prompted the club to seek reinforcement in midfield. Despite the setbacks, both parties remain optimistic about finalizing the agreement in the coming days.
