According to Sport, Barcelona has intensified its efforts to sign Rodri and has submitted an initial offer of €45 million plus €10 million in add-ons to Manchester City, which was rejected.

According to reports, Barcelona's first offer to Manchester City consisted of a base transfer fee of €45 million plus €10 million in add-ons, but Manchester City rejected it, demanding €65 million, though negotiations remain open.

Barcelona believes Rodri's contract with Manchester City has only one year remaining, and the player himself has already agreed to sign, meaning no other clubs will enter the competition. Barcelona is currently the only club that can reach an agreement with Manchester City and is unwilling to pay an excessive transfer fee.

Previously, Rodri's representatives informed Barcelona that Manchester City's asking price is €65 million, but all parties are still exploring options together, hoping to persuade Manchester City to accept a deal as soon as possible. Barcelona has set a hard ceiling on the transfer fee at €50 million.

After that, the club may add performance-based clauses to bring the total price closer to €60 million. Barcelona believes this price is fair and already very close to Manchester City's asking price. Relations between the two clubs are good, and a deal is expected to be completed this weekend to finalize the transfer.

Regarding the player, Barcelona is fully aware of Rodri's salary demands. He is one of Manchester City's highest earners and has a contract extension offer on the table. Barcelona and Rodri have reached preliminary agreement on these terms, with a contract spanning four seasons. All parties are now optimistic about the transfer.

Rodri almost reached an agreement with Real Madrid, but circumstances changed at the last moment and the deal fell through. Real Madrid's rigid stance on the transfer fee also played a role, as they only offered €40 million and showed no intention of increasing their bid.

This made Rodri and his team doubt whether Real Madrid's interest was genuine. Ultimately, Rodri chose to accept Barcelona's approach, which came with a more credible negotiation plan and clearly stated they were determined to sign him. If everything goes smoothly over the next few days, Rodri could travel to Barcelona next week.
