Barcelona targets Manchester City's Rodri with €50 million offer

Barcelona is reportedly preparing a bid of up to €50 million for Manchester City midfielder Rodri. This interest follows the long-term injury of Frenkie de Jong, prompting Barcelona to seek midfield reinforcements. Real Madrid, who are also in pursuit of Rodri, appear to have the upper hand, having made significant progress on the deal, including personal terms. As negotiations continue between Madrid and City, it remains unclear if Rodri will consider Barcelona without assurance from the player himself.
