Barcelona’s pursuit of Rodri appears to be reaching a dramatic conclusion, with negotiations between Barça and Manchester City reportedly entering the final stages. 👀🔥
According to the latest reports, the two clubs are now working through the remaining details of a potential agreement, with optimism growing that the Spanish midfielder could soon make his return to La Liga. Recent reporting has also confirmed that Barcelona have submitted an improved €60 million offer after Manchester City rejected their initial proposal, while Rodri’s preference for Barcelona has strengthened the possibility of a transfer.
And now, there could be a major deadline approaching. ⏳💥
As reported by Alex Pintanel, Barcelona’s objective is reportedly for Rodri not to travel back to Manchester on Friday, with the belief that if both clubs maintain a positive attitude, an agreement can be reached before then.
That detail has immediately sent Barça supporters into overdrive. 😱🔵🔴
The message coming from the negotiations is that there is no longer a major disagreement over whether Rodri wants the move. Instead, the focus is apparently on ironing out the final details between Barcelona and Manchester City.
That represents a huge change from just days ago.
Manchester City initially rejected Barcelona’s opening offer, with reports indicating that the proposal was considered far below the level required to seriously negotiate Rodri’s departure. City were understood to be looking for a figure around €80 million.
Barcelona, however, have refused to walk away.
The Catalan giants have increased their proposal to around €60 million, potentially with additional bonuses, and negotiations have continued.
The fact that discussions are still progressing suggests that both sides can see a potential route toward an agreement. 🤝🔥
And Rodri’s position could be crucial.
The Spanish midfielder is reportedly keen on returning to Spain and joining Barcelona, a move that would reunite him with several members of Spain’s recent international setup. His profile also fits perfectly with what Barça need in midfield: composure, defensive intelligence, physical strength and the ability to control the rhythm of a match. 🧠⚽🇪🇸
For Barcelona, this would be much more than another transfer.
Rodri could become the midfield anchor capable of giving the team greater balance while allowing players such as Pedri and other attacking talents to operate with more freedom. His experience at the highest level, including Manchester City’s Champions League triumph, makes him an incredibly attractive target. 🏆🔥
Manchester City, meanwhile, appear to be preparing for the possibility that their midfield leader could leave. Recent reports have linked the club with moves for potential midfield replacements, adding another intriguing layer to the developing saga.
Now everything could come down to the final negotiations.
Barcelona want the deal.
Rodri reportedly wants Barcelona.
Manchester City want the right financial package.
And the remaining gap may finally be close enough for all three sides to find a solution. 👀💰
If the final details are resolved quickly, Rodri could soon be on his way to Barcelona rather than returning to Manchester.
For Barça fans, the dream is getting dangerously close to reality. 😍🔵🔴
Rodri could be entering the final hours of his Manchester City chapter… and the beginning of a brand-new Barcelona story. 💣🇪🇸🔵🔴
