It has become known how much Barcelona wants to pay for Rodri - Romano

Barcelona's bid for Rodri revealed - Romano

Spanish football club Barcelona is trying to sign Manchester City midfielder Rodri. This was reported by journalist Fabrizio Romano on his X (formerly Twitter) page.

According to the source, the Catalan club is holding official negotiations with Manchester City on this transfer and the probability of a positive conclusion of the deal is very high.

According to preliminary information, the Barcelona management is ready to pay a little more than 45 million euros for the player. However, in the process of direct negotiations, the English club is demanding a relatively higher price. It is noted that Rodri himself wants to move to Barcelona. This circumstance may give the "blue and blue" an advantage in the negotiations.

For information, the 30-year-old midfielder played in 21 matches in the English Premier League in the 2025/2026 season, scoring one goal. He also played in 5 matches in the Champions League this season. Rodri was named the best player of the 2026 World Cup. In the final of the tournament, the Spanish national team defeated Argentina (1:0) thanks to the only goal scored in extra time.
