Manchester City have rejected a £55m bid from Barcelona for midfielder Rodri, with the Spanish club still keen to sign the World Cup-winning midfielder.
Barcelona had previously seen an offer of around £40m rejected by City before returning with an improved proposal. However, the latest bid has also been turned down, with City reportedly seeking more than £60m for the 30-year-old.
Despite the latest setback, Barcelona remain interested in Rodri and are considering their next move as negotiations continue.
Rodri has entered the final year of his contract at the Etihad, but City are reluctant to sell the Spain international and would prefer to extend his deal.
