According to Marca, Barcelona and Manchester City are expected to reach an agreement on Rodri in the coming days.

The report states that Barcelona and Manchester City are still negotiating Rodri's transfer. As Marca previously reported, after Barcelona submitted their latest offer this Friday, the positions of both parties have significantly converged, and a final agreement is expected in the coming days. Currently, Barcelona's sporting director Deco and Manchester City's sporting director Hugo Viana are pushing for this deal.

After several previous verbal offers, Barcelona's latest official offer is 70 million euros, including a fixed transfer fee and variable clauses. Specifically, 60 million euros are a fixed fee, and another 10 million euros come from various bonuses.

However, Manchester City did not accept this offer, instead asking Barcelona to raise the total fixed and variable fees to 80 million euros.

The current situation is that both sides are only 10 million euros away from reaching a final agreement. Therefore, both Barcelona and Manchester City are very optimistic about finally completing this deal. Now it remains to be seen whether both sides can make further concessions.

Negotiations are expected to continue, but Sunday will be more complicated. Both Barcelona and Manchester City have matches that day, so negotiations will not be easy, especially for Manchester City, who are playing an official match, while Barcelona is playing a friendly match that day.

If an agreement cannot be reached on Sunday, both clubs believe they can complete negotiations on Monday.

After Rodri clearly expressed his desire to join Barcelona and rejected Real Madrid's offer, Barcelona and Manchester City began negotiations. Since then, Deco and Viana have held multiple rounds of consultations, and both sides have successively submitted different offers, but none have been accepted so far.

Now, this deal is only in the final stages of accelerated progress.
