According to the latest report from The Times, Manchester City knows that insisting on a high asking price for Rodri is unrealistic, but this is related to their desire to sign Enzo.
Manchester City reportedly rejected Barcelona's second official bid for Rodri, after Barcelona increased their offer from €45 million + add-ons to €55-60 million + add-ons, with a total value of up to €65 million, but Manchester City still insists on a fixed transfer fee of €70-80 million.
Although Manchester City knows that Rodri has agreed to join Barcelona and believes that demanding such a high transfer fee for a player whose contract expires in 2027 is unrealistic, they still refuse. Rodri will report back to the team this Friday, which is a tricky issue for all parties.
Manchester City's asking price is related to their desire to sign Enzo. Chelsea has put a £120 million (€140 million) price tag on the deal, and Manchester City needs to raise funds. If Manchester City terminates negotiations with Barcelona, they may not only miss out on €60 million but also dissatisfy Rodri. At the same time, Barcelona cannot give him up.

another bullshit post, same news rewritten, lol. Enzo Fernandes is one of the worst signing a team could make. a racist that divides locker rooms and cause friction within any team he's a part of. If he joins i probably stop supporting ManCity.

Barcelona will up their fee to above 60m only if they are stupid …. Moreover we’ve got enough midfield options so we ain’t losing anyways
Barcelona likes to use the media to low ball others. Rat club. 🤣

we will not add anything,he will come on 2027 for free.
Teams will offer better deals than Barça in case he becomes a free agent in a year time; the downside of it is that you'll lose leverage and gonna have to compete with more enticing offers..

City is acting in bad faith and Barca should not increase their offer above the 60 millions.

You are just one of them. Who the hell is fool enough to sell a player like Rodri cheap. At current market price 70 - 80m is cheap. If Chelsea is asking 140m for Enzo, how can you think a champion like Rodri will be sold at 40m? If you don't have money just back out.
Leave him alone, he’s just an armature and ignorant to learn from transfer market, i can even assume the guy to be a football illiterate. Who told you that when a player is getting older his market value will not drop and at end of his contract, even messi and ronaldo can still perform better than rodri as we talk right now and this their 39 and 43 yrs ages respectively but go and see their market value. Enzo can even surpass €140m to €150 or €160m simply because he’s at his prime yrs and he still has running contract but even though Chelsea has to set a fair price thats why they value him at €140m, had it been around €180-200m then we can say the price is not fair at all, but for your information if player is anything within range of 30yrs and above his value will begin to drop no matter who he is just like it happened at civil service, if you’re looking for a job around 30 yrs and above from big industries your age will disqualify you, in spite rodri that his contract any club has the right to negotiate free contract terms with in the next few months

Dude he is injury prone 😂 chill out they need to bargain, if Barca don’t have the money why are they bidding for Alvarez? Both parties needs to find a solution that will benefit them both, Rodri is 30 and also injury prone this business nothing more nothing less. Psg have been negotiating for ferran for weeks now or business bruh clubs do this when he reach Barca then una go say them no get money 😂 na u help dem sign their previous signing?

That why in football there is negotiation and now that Chelsea has set Friday 5pm for deadline to sign Enzo then Man City will be under pressure because it is sure Rodri is not staying so instead of wasting time they will just come to terms with Barca and also Tijjani to Al Quaisha in Saudi Arabia is also part of the money man city will collect together and buy Enzo… Man City can’t just spend 350M euro from the own account just like that knowing the ffp and 150M charges against them
