Transfer news: Rodri's second huge offer has already been revealed

FC Barcelona are back on the offensive with a second, improved offer to finalize the Rodri deal.

Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca has called up midfielder Rodri for training next Wednesday. However, FC Barcelona intends to finalize his transfer before then.

An initial offer was rejected.

Things are moving forward regarding the Rodri Hernández transfer. Less than 48 hours ago, all the elements of Barça's initial financial offer were already finalized. The Barcelona club had submitted a first proposal of around €55 million, including all bonuses. The English club didn't hesitate to reject this offer. Nevertheless, the Catalan management persisted. The negotiations between the two teams continued unabated, making the transfer increasingly likely.

A second offer is in preparation

As journalist Fabrizio Romano reported, Manchester City expected to receive an offer between €70 and €80 million. This amount remains high for a player with only one year left on his contract. However, Barça wants to make an effort to finalize the deal, as Rodri has clearly stated that he only wants to join FC Barcelona. According to SPORT, Barça is preparing an offer of €65 million plus an additional €5 million, bringing the total to €70 million. This would represent a significant investment if the transfer goes through. The Blaugrana club's management wants to finalize Rodri's transfer before his return to training on Wednesday. The negotiation period is very short to avoid Rodri returning to City. Therefore, this second offer is expected to be the final one.
