It’s a nice move that FC Barcelona wants to make. While Rodri seemed promised to Real Madrid – some media spoke of a total agreement between the 30-year-old midfielder and the Merengues – Barça hijack the transfer of the MVP of the last World Cup. The boss of La Roja thus finally chose the Blaugranas, in particular because he believes that the style of Hansi Flick’s team fits better with his way of playing. Many Barça players he frequents in the selection also reportedly lobbied to convince him behind the scenes.
It now remains to reach an agreement with Manchester City, which is no easy task. The Cityzens seem willing to let go of their player, but not at any price. Even if his contract is up in a year, they still want to get a nice amount from it, and FC Barcelona’s first proposal was refused. The Blaugrana had offered a sum of between 45 and 50 million euros.
Barça is ready for anything
Now, as indicated Sportthe Catalan club will make a new proposal by making a huge financial effort, since they are now ready to put 60 million euros on the table. A sum that they are even ready to increase if necessary, since the Blaugranas want to conclude this file quickly. The Barcelonans, who are still in a fairly unstable financial situation, are ready to put themselves in danger for Rodri.
Deco and Joan Laporta do not want this soap opera to drag on and start to resemble the Julian Alvarez file. The reigning Spanish champion wants to complete the transfer of Rodri as quickly as possible, and internally, the trend is clearly towards optimism. To the point where the objective is, already, to present the player as the new galactic transfer of the summer at Camp Nou during the coming week. To be continued…
