Rodri transfer news: Man City reject initial Barcelona off for Spain midfielder with bid considered far too low

Manchester City have knocked back an initial offer from Barcelona for Rodri that is considered far too low. 

Barcelona's initial offer - which Manchester City rejected - was worth in the region of £40m. City are seeking upwards of £60m for the 30-year-old midfielder, who has entered the final year of his deal.

Talks over a deal have therefore halted for now.

Barcelona are not giving up on Rodri by any means. Plans are in motion for another offer to go in at some point in coming days.
