Spanish press reports revealed Barcelona's desire to retain the services of team captain Sergi Roberto next season, whose contract with the club expires next summer.

The newspaper "Mundo Deportivo" reported that Sergi Roberto has the opportunity to continue at Barcelona for another season, which will be his fifteenth. Following the recommendation made by technical director Xavi Hernandez.

The newspaper indicated that Catalan club officials had already informed the player of his intention to negotiate a renewal of his contract, and the technical director also informed of the negotiations in the coming weeks.

Sergi Roberto had adjusted his salary to comply with the “Financial Fair Play” law, which led to a reduction in what he had received until then. The economic issue will be the backbone, because the club will initially offer him one year with the same salary, but there are other conditions.
