Barcelona will not offer Sergi Roberto a new contract, according to reports from Relevo. The 32-year-old’s current deal expires at the end of the season, and he will be free to leave on a free transfer.
Roberto has been a regular for Barcelona since breaking into the first team in 2011, but he has struggled with injuries in recent seasons.
He has also failed to live up to expectations in terms of his performances, and Barcelona have decided not to offer him a new deal.
Xavi wanted to keep Roberto
Barcelona manager Xavi Hernandez was keen to keep Roberto at the club, but the club’s financial situation made it impossible.
Barcelona are currently in a difficult financial position, and they are unable to offer Roberto the wages that he is looking for.
Roberto’s departure will be a blow to Barcelona, but it is a necessary move in order to improve the club’s financial situation.
