Context

Rodri, a 30-year-old midfielder, is a key part of Manchester City, having contributed to their success in the Premier League and European competitions. His potential transfer to Barcelona highlights the Catalan club's ambitions to strengthen its squad after a difficult season in LaLiga.

Why it matters

The rejection of Barcelona's offer for Rodri underlines the Spanish midfielder's importance to Manchester City, a pillar of their Premier League success. The refusal could also signal City's intention to retain their best players despite the interests of other clubs, thereby strengthening their dominant position in the English league.

The summer transfer window is accelerating with several major files in Europe. Manchester City have rejected an offer of 55 million pounds (around €64 million) made by FC Barcelona for Spanish midfielder Rodri. The English club are reportedly demanding more than 60 million pounds to let their mid-30-year-old leave, and discussions between the two clubs continue.

In Italy, the signing of English full-back Djed Spence by Inter Milan seems imminent: the 26-year-old defender must undergo his medical examination in Italy before the finalization of a transfer valued at 30 million euros (£25.6 million) plus a 5 million euro bonus.

Arsenal have seen their approach for Spanish defender Marc Pubill, 23, rebuffed: Atlético Madrid have confirmed that the player is not for sale, putting an end to the Gunners' ambitions on this issue for the moment.

The transfer window is also moving in lower England: Hull City is about to finalize the arrival of French midfielder Lucas Gourna-Douath (23) from Red Bull Salzburg for an amount of 4 million euros (£3.4 million). At the same time, Hull have reportedly submitted an offer of more than 15 million pounds for Tim Iroegbunam, a 23-year-old English midfielder belonging to Everton.

Ipswich Town are showing a certain determination to enlist German striker Derry Scherhant (23) from SC Freiburg. Still on the Ipswich side, the club made an offer of 20 million euros (£17m) for Argentine midfielder Exequiel Palacios, an offer which was rejected by Bayer Leverkusen.

In Serie A, Naples must decide on the future of Italian striker Lorenzo Lucca (25) before entering into possible discussions with Arsenal regarding Brazilian striker Gabriel Jesus (29). Meanwhile, AC Milan coach Ruben Amorim told eight players — including English defender Fikayo Tomori (28) and French striker Christopher Nkunku (28) — that they were not part of his plans.

Other movements in perspective: Genoa is interested in a loan for Evan Ferguson (21 years old) from Brighton, and West Ham is confident about concluding an agreement with Celtic for Belgian midfielder Arne Engels (22 years old).

The transfer window continues to offer its share of uncertainties and opportunities for clubs and players. Between rejected offers, files on track and negotiations still open, the summer promises to be lively on the European market.
