Barcelona has reportedly increased their bid to Manchester City for midfielder Rodri, according to Fabrizio Romano.
As previously reported, an initial offer of €45 million plus €10 million in add-ons was rejected. The Spanish champions' new proposal now stands at €60 million, plus additional bonuses. However, the Citizens are still holding out for €80 million. Despite this, optimism remains at Camp Nou that an agreement can be reached, potentially for a figure somewhere in the middle. In such a scenario, performance-related bonuses would play a crucial role.
Meanwhile, Nicolo Schira reports that negotiations between the two clubs are in their final stages, with a deal potentially being finalized this week for €60-70 million. He also reiterates that Rodri has already agreed to a four-year contract with an annual salary of €15 million.
