Barcelona
have lodged a third offer for Manchester City's Rodri, valued around €65-70
million plus add-ons, bridging the gap between their prior €60 million bid and
City's €80 million demand.
The 30-year-old Spanish midfielder has agreed
personal terms with Barcelona and wants to return to La Liga, while City
rejected the latest bid but remain open to a sale above €70 million.
Manager Enzo Maresca hugged Rodri after seeing him and noted he looked good, as fans buzz with excitement over the potential transformative signing.
