Third attempt to hire Rodri
This new move by the Catalan club follows two previous offers, of €50 million and €60 million, which were promptly rejected by the Manchester City board.

He acts as a central piece in protecting the defense and organizing the midfield, characteristics that make him one of the most valued midfielders on the European scene. This importance explains the English club’s resistance to releasing him and the high price established for his departure.
