Barcelona puts pressure on City: Spanish champions send third bid for Rodri

After Rodri rejected Real Madrid last week and expressed his desire to continue his career at Barcelona, ​​the Catalan giants are putting pressure on his current club Manchester City.

The Spanish champions have already sent two offers, but both have been rejected. Barca first tried an offer of 50 million euros, then 60 million - both attempts were flatly rejected by the Catalans.

The English club respects Rodri's desire to move to Barcelona, ​​but they want to get their money's worth. The Blaugrana's leaders haven't given up either, and today a new offer arrived at City's address.

Although the Etihad club previously sent a clear message that they want 80 million euros, Barca are hoping they can meet halfway, so, as reported by Spanish media, an offer of 70 million plus certain bonuses has now been sent.

Meanwhile, Rodri arrived in Manchester on Thursday and made himself available to new City manager Enzo Maresca. However, the Italian expert is aware that the official best player of this year's World Cup wants to continue his career at Barcelona, ​​so when asked about the situation surrounding Rodri, he briefly commented that "anything is possible."

On the other hand, Barcelona are starting to feel the pressure. With just two weeks left until the end of the transfer window, the Catalan giants' sporting director Deco and his team still have several positions they want to fill. In addition to the arrival of Rodri, a new striker is a priority after both strikers Robert Lewandowski and Ferran Torres left the club from the "Camp Nou" this summer.

The obsessive desire of Decca, coach Hansi Flick and president Joan Laporte is Julián Álvarez. However, for now, Atletico Madrid does not even want to hear about offers from Barcelona, ​​so it is clear that it will be difficult to bring the Argentine, who made it clear during the World Cup that he wants to transfer to Catalonia.

Also, Barca have yet to reach a final agreement with Al Hilal over the transfer of Joao Cancelo, but things seem to be moving in a positive direction for the Spanish champions. Some exits are also expected - the biggest candidate to leave Barcelona next is Marc Casado.
