Spanish football club Barcelona is preparing to take a significant step in its pursuit of Manchester City midfielder Rodri Hernandez.
According to the Operative Information Center-OMM, citing information shared by renowned insider Fabrizio Romano on social media, the Catalan side is set to submit a third official offer to the English club in the coming days.
Previously, Manchester City management rejected two initial bids for Rodri, valued at €50 million and €60 million, respectively. While current negotiations are hovering around the €70 million mark, the English club maintains a valuation of €80 million for the 30-year-old midfielder.
Reports indicate that Barcelona's leadership is prioritizing a patient and methodical approach to the negotiation process to ensure a favorable outcome. Rodri, a key figure in modern football, remains a high-priority target for the Spanish giants as they look to bolster their midfield options for the upcoming season.
It should be noted that Rodri appeared in 33 matches across all competitions last season, contributing two goals. His potential transfer to Barcelona would mark one of the most significant moves in the European transfer market, reflecting the club's ambition to strengthen its squad with experienced talent.
