Maresca uncertain about Rodri’s future at Man City

Manchester City are understood to have rejected an opening bid of £38.5 million from Barcelona for the midfielder.

Maresca uncertain about Rodri’s future at Man City

Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca expressed uncertainty regarding the future of midfielder Rodri, who is reportedly a target for Spanish champions Barcelona. The 30-year-old midfielder, who joined City from Atletico Madrid in 2019, has one season remaining on his contract and has been linked with a return to Spain. Barcelona allegedly bid £38.5 million for Rodri initially, but City rejected the offer.

Now valued at around £68 million, Barcelona may attempt to increase their bid, potentially leading to a transfer for Chelsea's Enzo Fernandez. Rodri was the last City player to report for pre-season training and recently returned from back surgery. Maresca stated that anything can happen, and City remains active in the transfer window.

Chelsea is reportedly set to make an offer for Chelsea-bound midfielder Enzo Fernandez, but City has not acted on that news today. Additionally, midfielder Tijjani Reijnders is reportedly close to joining Saudi club Al Qadsiah for around £51 million.
