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. He does not want Real Madrid; he wants Barcelona. And yesterday he informed Los Blancos of his decision, prompting the club to close that chapter because Real Madrid never pursue players who prefer Barcelona over them.🚨 Barcelona offer Manchester City ~€45m + add-ons to sign Rodri. #MCFC regard as nowhere near level needed to negotiate sale + insist no meaningful talks taking place as bid considered serious yet to be made. #FCBarcelona know price ~€80m @TheAthleticFC https://t.co/gTLT673NDS— David Ornstein (@David_Ornstein) Aug..

Allegri want’s the best version of De Bruyne

Kevin De Bruyne will have another big opportunity at Napoli.Injuries and Antonio Conte’s style of play contributed significantly to the Belgian star’s first season falling below expectations. The change in management, Kevin’s determination to leave a lasting mark in Naples, Aurelio De Laurentiis’ stubborn desire to prove that he was right about De Bruyne, and Napoli supporters’ unwavering affection for the Belgian, despite everything, provide almost perfect conditions for a change in fortunes. De Bruyne’s appearance at Napoli’s centenary celebration last weekend, followed by him cutting his holiday short and bringing forward his return to Naples with his family, only strengthened the position of the former Manchester City star. On the other hand, Massimiliano Allegri comes off a season in which he extended the career of Luka Modrić, who is six years older than De Bruyne. Max sees Kevin as a kind of guiding light for Napoli’s play next season, a focal point and a source of confidence.In..
