Report: Manchester City reject Barcelona’s second Rodri bid as talks continue

Manchester City have rejected a second offer from Barcelona for Rodri, with the proposal understood to be worth in the region of £55 million. Talks between the clubs are still active, according to the report.

Ben Jacobs was the first to report it. His piece outlines that Barcelona returned with a fresh approach after an initial attempt fell short, but City have again declined to sell at those terms. The reporting adds that dialogue remains open.

The development signals persistence from Barcelona while underlining City’s stance for now, with no agreement in place. No fee or structure beyond the approximate £55m figure has been disclosed in the reporting, and neither club has made the situation official.

As things stand, the situation is framed as ongoing talks following a rejected bid rather than a breakthrough. Whether Barcelona raise their offer or adjust the terms is not indicated in the piece.
