Barcelona have “no plans” to offer the midfielder a new contract, summer exit on the cards

It is very likely that there will be several Barcelona players leaving the club permanently this summer, as sales are needed to alleviate their ongoing financial problems.

Two players who are pretty much guaranteed to leave the club are Marcos Alonso and Sergi Roberto, as both players are out of contract at the end of the season. The decision on the former was made some time ago, while in the case of Roberto – the captain of the club – there was a chance that he would stay for an additional 12 months.

However, since Xavi Hernandez announced that he will leave at the end of the season, Roberto's hopes of staying have been extinguished. Relief they say that there is no plan for Barcelona to offer a new deal, which suggests that he will leave in the summer for new pastures.

It will be the end of an era for Roberto, who has been an excellent servant for Barcelona since he left La Masia. He has yet to be officially informed that he will be leaving, but he will surely know soon that his time is up.
