Manchester City have turned down a £55 million bid from Barcelona for midfielder Rodri. The latest offer comes after an initial bid of around £40 million was rejected last week, with City reportedly seeking over £60 million for the player. Rodri is in the final year of his contract, and while City prefers to retain the World Cup-winning midfielder, they could allow him to leave if he requests it. Barcelona is determined to sign Rodri and is evaluating their next move regarding the transfer.
