In a significant development in the transfer market, Manchester City have turned down Barcelona's offer of £38.5 million for midfielder Rodri. The Spanish international, who has been a key figure in City’s midfield, is reportedly available for a price that exceeds £60 million. This decision reflects City's valuation of Rodri, who has not only established himself as a pivotal player for the club but also as a captain for the national team. With Barcelona keen to bolster their squad, this rejection may prompt them to reconsider their strategy as they aim to secure top talent for the upcoming season.
