Manchester City have rejected a fresh bid from Barcelona for midfielder Rodri, with the Spanish club offering £55m for the player.
The bid is the latest attempt by Barcelona to sign Rodri, who has been a key player for Manchester City since joining the club.
Manchester City's decision to reject the bid suggests that they are keen to hold on to Rodri, who has been an important part of the team's success in recent seasons.
Barcelona will likely need to reconsider their offer if they are to have any chance of signing Rodri, with Manchester City seemingly unwilling to sell at the current price.
The rejection of the bid leaves uncertainty over Rodri's future, with the midfielder's situation likely to be the subject of further speculation in the coming weeks.
For now, however, Rodri remains a Manchester City player, and the club will be hoping to keep him at the Etihad Stadium for the foreseeable future.
