Barcelona told how much to pay for Rodri after second bid rejected by Man City

LONDON, England - May 16: Barcelona's bid for Manchester City midfielder Rodri has been rejected, with the Premier League champions insisting on a £70 million (€82m) transfer fee, according to The Times. The Spanish giants had initially made an offer of €45 million, which was later upgraded to €60 million plus add-ons. Rodri, a World Cup winner, is reportedly keen on a move to Barcelona at the start of the summer transfer window.

Manchester City, however, appears prepared to pursue alternative options, with Chelsea's Enzo Fernandez being considered as a potential replacement. The injured Spaniard is expected back at City for pre-season training with manager Enzo Maresca as the club prepares for the upcoming Premier League season. The decision now rests with Barcelona to either meet City's valuation or walk away.
