According to Catalan media outlet Ara, Barcelona and Manchester City are still negotiating the transfer of Rodri. The player has agreed to join, but the two clubs have not yet reached an agreement.
Barcelona and Manchester City's negotiations regarding Rodri are ongoing. Just a week ago, Barcelona secured the midfielder's agreement to join for the next four seasons, but the agreement with Manchester City has not yet been finalized. However, both sides are expected to reach an agreement in the short term.
As Ara previously reported, Barcelona's transfer fee ceiling is 65 million euros, including 55 million euros in fixed fees and 10 million euros in variable fees. But on the Manchester side, especially the Manchester City management, they are still demanding at least 70 million euros, and most of that must be in fixed fees. Therefore, Barcelona still needs to further increase its offer.
Both sides will continue negotiations in the coming hours and hope to reach an agreement. Meanwhile, Rodri is expected to return to Manchester City training tomorrow local time. He will be arranged by the new head coach Maresca, but due to recovering from back surgery, he cannot participate in all training. Rodri's contract with Manchester City will expire on June 30 next year and will not be renewed, so this summer is Manchester City's last chance to get transfer revenue from him.
