Barcelona captain Sergi Roberto he is out of contract today, but there is still no news about his future as things stand. The 32-year-old had agreed a deal to stay at the club for at least one extra season, but the departure of Xavi Hernandez saw the Blaugrana revert to their intentions.
Roberto, who has been at the club for nearly two decades, has been reunited with Barcelona on a new deal, but is clearly not a priority for new coach Hansi Flick. Sport say that Roberto was told that they still want to keep him, but want to wait until the end of July to see if they have room in their salary limit to sign a new deal.
On FC Barcelona's Spanish X account (@FCBarcelona_es), recent posts on João Félix and João Cancelo have been removed. Marcos Alonso's place is still up there.

Meanwhile, Roberto's agents have received interest from Girona, Valencia and Sevilla, and are in talks over a move, although it is still believed that he would perhaps prioritize staying at Barcelona if he gives the light green before he agrees to go elsewhere. All the same, Roberto begins to believe that he is on the way to his club. He also believes that he will have options abroad.
The veteran is still on the club's website as part of the team, but this is also the case of Marcos Alonso, who said goodbye to the club on Sunday as well. Yesterday, the club also announced the exit of Joao Felix and Joao Cancelo, whose loans have expired, but then remove the posts.
