Rodri is still a Manchester City player, but Barcelona have reportedly put a fresh €60 million offer on the table as they try to bring one of the game’s most established midfield controllers to Camp Nou.
- Barcelona are believed to have submitted a new €60 million bid for Rodri.
- Manchester City want more than that figure, so the move is still unresolved and talks are continuing.
- Barcelona remain optimistic that they can turn this latest push into an agreement.
Barcelona’s Pursuit Of Rodri
Barcelona’s new €60 million proposal looks like the latest step in a live negotiation rather than the finish line. An earlier offer in the mid-€40 million range is believed to have been knocked back, while City are thought to value Rodri at close to €70 million, which explains why there is still work to do between the clubs.
Rodri remains a current Manchester City player and a major one, with 21 Premier League appearances and 1,511 league minutes in his most recent season. City’s reluctance to sell makes sense given how central he still is to their first-team picture.
What Rodri Could Bring To Barcelona
Rodri would give Barcelona midfield control. He is valued for setting the tempo, keeping the ball moving under pressure and handling tight spaces without the game speeding up around him. That is a smart target for a team trying to add more authority in the middle of the pitch.
His recent international workload also shows he remains a vital player today. Rodri started all five of Spain’s 2026 World Cup knockout matches, which helps explain why Barcelona are going all in on this one.
The question is whether Barcelona and City can bridge the remaining valuation gap.
