Barcelona are preparing a third proposal for Manchester City midfielder Rodri as negotiations over a potential move to Camp Nou continue.
According to transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano, Barcelona have already seen proposals worth €50 million and €60 million rejected by Manchester City.
The Catalan club is now returning with another offer as both sides continue direct negotiations.
The latest discussions are reportedly focused on finding a compromise between Barcelona’s €60 million offer and Manchester City’s €80 million valuation of the Spain international.
Barcelona remain confident that an agreement can be reached and are optimistic about completing the deal.
Barcelona Refuse to Give Up on Rodri
The latest development shows that Barcelona remain determined to bring Rodri back to Spain despite City's resistance.
The midfielder is reportedly open to the move, while Barcelona believe the gap between the two clubs' valuations can be bridged through the structure of the transfer and potential add-ons.
Manchester City have previously rejected Barcelona's opening offer, with the Premier League club demanding a significantly higher fee for the 30-year-old midfielder.
The negotiations have continued to progress, with recent reports indicating that Barcelona's improved proposal has brought the clubs closer together.
Manchester City Face a Key Decision
For Manchester City, the situation is becoming increasingly important as the club considers whether to keep Rodri or accept a substantial transfer fee for the midfielder.
Rodri remains one of the most important midfielders of his generation and has been a key figure for City since joining the club from Atlético Madrid in 2019.
City are also reportedly considering potential replacements should Rodri leave, with Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernández among the names linked with a move to the Etihad.
With Barcelona refusing to walk away from the negotiations, the next proposal could prove crucial in determining whether Rodri gets his desired move to Camp Nou.
For now, talks remain ongoing, with Barcelona maintaining confidence that a deal can be reached.
