Barça remain confident and optimistic.”
Direct talks between Barcelona and Manchester City are expected to continue, with the next proposal likely to fall somewhere between Barcelona’s latest €60 million offer and City’s reported €80 million asking price.
Barcelona remain optimistic about their chances of completing the deal and are prepared to push forward with negotiations rather than walk away.
The coming days could prove decisive, with both clubs continuing discussions in an effort to find a compromise over Rodri’s valuation.
