Rodri

In August 2026, reports converged on a completed transfer agreement between Manchester City and Barcelona for a fee reported between €75 million and €76.5 million, including a guaranteed €60 million. Throughout the negotiations, Manchester City's asking price was consistently reported at €80 million. Barcelona's bids reportedly escalated from rejected initial offers of around €50-60 million to a final proposal of €70 million plus bonuses. During the same period, Real Madrid was also linked, with one report mentioning a proposed package of €80 million. Earlier in January 2026, Manchester City's valuation was reported to be as high as €100 million.

Our valuation is driven by the high volume of consistent reports in August 2026 detailing the final stages of negotiations and the eventual agreement for Rodri's transfer from Manchester City to Barcelona. The range reflects Manchester City's consistent asking price of approximately €80 million and Barcelona's final offers around €70 million, with the final reported deal, including add-ons, landing in the €75-77 million bracket, which strongly informs our estimate.
