Rodri’s future at Manchester City still continues to fuel the transfer window. Asked about the situation of his midfielder, Enzo Maresca indicated that the Spaniard was still expected at the Cityzens: “for the moment, he will be in Manchester on Friday August 14”he blurted. A date which still leaves a few days for FC Barcelona to try to advance a file that has become one of its main priorities at the end of the transfer window.
Barça is preparing a new offer of 60 million euros to convince Manchester City to let go of Rodri. The Blaugranas would even be willing to increase this proposal if necessary, despite a still fragile financial situation. Joan Laporta and Deco want to settle the operation quickly and avoid a soap opera similar to that of Julián Álvarez.
