What happened. Barcelona are considering a move for Rodri after Real Madrid failed to reach an agreement with the Manchester City midfielder, who could be allowed to leave for around £60m.

• Real Madrid have held weeks of talks but no deal yet.
• City haven't given up on Rodri signing a new contract.
• Barcelona also frustrated in pursuit of Atlético's Julián Alvarez.

Barcelona hope to exploit the stalled negotiations, but City may still persuade Rodri to extend his stay.
