Manchester City Rejects Barcelona's €50 Million Bid for Rodri

Manchester City rejected Barcelona's opening bid of €46 million for captain Rodri, setting a firm asking price of €70 million for the midfielder.

The two clubs are currently in direct contact to negotiate a transfer fee, as Barcelona aims to finalize the deal before the player's post-World Cup vacation ends next week.

City is reportedly willing to accept a deal to reinvest funds in other players, provided Barcelona improves their current offer to meet the club's valuation.
