English Premier League club Manchester City has clarified its stance regarding the potential transfer of star midfielder Rodri Hernandez.
According to the Operative Information Center-OMM, FC Barcelona, which has expressed strong interest in the Spanish national team member, will need to meet the financial conditions set by the English club to finalize the deal.
Reports citing insider Nicolo Schira indicate that Manchester City is demanding a transfer fee between 60 and 70 million euros to release the 30-year-old player. This valuation is significantly higher than the 45 million euro figure previously speculated in media reports.
Sources suggest that Rodri has already reached an agreement on personal terms with Barcelona. However, the completion of the transfer remains contingent upon the Catalan club meeting the financial requirements set by the Manchester side.
Discussions regarding Rodri's future are ongoing. It has been noted that the experienced midfielder previously turned down an opportunity to join Real Madrid. Rodri appeared in 33 matches across all competitions last season, scoring two goals. The primary question remains whether Barcelona will be able to meet the financial demands required to secure the Spanish international.
Manchester City, managed by Pep Guardiola, has long been a dominant force in English football, known for its strategic squad management and high-value player acquisitions. Rodri, who joined the club in 2019, has become a pivotal figure in their midfield, contributing significantly to their recent domestic and international successes.
