Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca said “anything can happen” amid reports La Liga champions Barcelona have bid to sign World Cup winner Rodri.
City are understood to have rejected an opening bid of £38.5 million ($52 million) from Barcelona for the midfielder.
The 30-year-old has just one season remaining on his deal at the Etihad and has been strongly linked with a return to his native Spain.
City are reported to want about £68 million for Rodri, who was named player of the tournament at the recent World Cup in North America.
Barcelona could now come back with an increased offer for Rodri, which in turn may lead to a City move for Chelsea’s Enzo Fernandez.
