It seems increasingly likely that Barcelona will have to appoint a new captain from next season. Current skipper Sergi Roberto continues to head for the exit door, with his contract expiring in less than two weeks.
Roberto was assured of his continuity while Xavi Hernandez was manager, but with Hansi Flick now at the helm, he is no longer considered necessary, and his contract situation is not a priority. A final decision has not yet been made, but the entourage of the 32-year-old is ready to entertain offers in the coming weeks.
Girona, Valencia, Seville and Porto were credited with interest in Roberto, but second MD, his idea is not to join any of these clubs. He dreams of moving to the Premier League if he is transferred from Barcelona this summer.
Roberto is looking for clarification on his Barcelona future as soon as possible, but it certainly seems that he will be on his way. It remains to be seen whether any Premier League clubs will take an interest in the coming weeks.
