Captain of Barcelona Sergi Roberto he is technically a free agent after his contract expired on Monday, but there has been no announcement of his exit. The Blaugrana asked him to wait to see how his finances are before signing him to a new contract that they had agreed on terms of.
The 32-year-old midfielder is concerned that his time at the club has come to an end, despite being told to wait by Barcelona. Sport they say Barcelona have communicated to Roberto that they plan to sign Roberto once their finances are in better order, which they hope will be the case soon. On July 10, Barcelona will return to training, and will not be able to do so if he is not signed in the club.

If he is to leave, however, he is trying to stay in Europe, and is particularly attracted by the possibility of playing in the Premier League. It has always been clear that he would also like to finish his career in Major League Soccer. where Relief different from his Catalan counterparts is that they report that Barcelona would not be against an exit for Roberto if he goes beyond.
His offer to Roberto expires on August 10, but before that Gavi, Inigo Martinez, Alejandro Balde and the new coach Hansi Flick will be registered, while Vitor Roque is another uncertain case. While Roberto has had interest from many places, only Sevilla have made a serious approach, which the veteran has so far rejected.
Roberto is unlikely to be a game-changer for Barcelona one way or another next season, but he made some useful contributions last year as a rotation option. His leadership and experience could also be useful to Flick, as he speaks English, and is unlikely to be a difficult character to manage for the new coach.
