What happened. Barcelona have had a bid of nearly £40m rejected for Rodri, and Manchester City will demand upwards of £60m to sell the Spain captain.

• Rodri has agreed personal terms with Barcelona and prefers them over Real Madrid.
• City are ready to sign an experienced replacement if Rodri leaves.
• Rodri's contract expires next summer, with a new offer on the table.

Barcelona must meet City's valuation to land Rodri, who is seeking a fresh challenge.
