Man City open to selling midfielder Rodri
Manchester City are open to selling midfielder Rodri but would demand more than £60m for the Spain captain, sources have told BBC Sport.
Manchester City has reportedly opened the door to selling midfielder Rodri, who is entering the final year of his contract at the Etihad Stadium without a new deal in place. The Spanish club is reportedly demanding a fee of over £60 million for the 30-year-old, who was recently signed by Barcelona. Despite initial reports of Real Madrid being interested in the player, Barcelona's interest has now accelerated, sources claim.
Rodri, who missed much of the 2024-25 season due to knee and hamstring injuries, had a strong showing at the World Cup earlier this year, leading Spain to its second title and earning him the Ballon d'Or. He is currently out of action after undergoing back surgery and is due to return to Manchester City in early August. City are in talks with Rodri's representatives, while Barca and Real Madrid have both shown interest in signing the midfielder.
Talks with Real Madrid have reportedly ended, and City aim to resolve Rodri's future quickly to sign a replacement.
