Manchester City Reject Barcelona's Opening Bid For Rodri: Report
North London Club Arsenal: Manchester City have reportedly rejected Barcelona's opening bid of around £38.5 million for Spain midfielder Rodri, with the Premier League champions valuing the Ballon d'Or winner at more than £60 million as uncertainty continues over his future at the Etihad Stadium.
Rodri has entered the final year of his contract with City and is yet to agree fresh terms, making him one of the most closely watched names in the ongoing transfer window.
According to the BBC, Barcelona have stepped up their pursuit of the 30-year-old after receiving encouragement from the player's camp to begin negotiations, while Real Madrid are no longer considered contenders for his signature. However, the La Liga Champions bid has been rejected by the former Premier League winners.
