City reject Barca’s offer for Rodri

Far from the football spotlight and without social media — one of the few people in the world to live that way — Rodri is enjoying the beaches, viewpoints and mountains of Montenegro while waiting for Manchester City and Barcelona to resolve their negotiations. He does not want to stay in Manchester because the club failed to value him financially when he was officially the best player in the world, so there is little reason for them to offer him a pay rise now.
