Sergi Roberto is in a complicated situation regarding his future. The flexible 32-year-old midfielder’s contract with Barcelona expired on June 30 and he has been a free agent since.
A contract that Barça could offer is on the table, but his inclusion is subject to the club’s monetary fair play situation and, therefore, there is no guarantee of his continuity.
Rumors are circulating that Roberto would receive offers from England, but the former captain is still waiting for Barcelona.
Today, Jordi Gil of SPORT reports that despite the existing situation, Barcelona still count on Sergi Roberto.
According to the information, Barça and Roberto reached an agreement a few weeks ago to renew his contract for one season.
The Blaugranas resumed their studies on July 10, but the club asked the former La Masia graduate not to appear. The monetary aspect was never an obstacle, since the player adapted to the economic context of the Catalans.
The contractual documents have been drafted pending signature. The club then informed the player that he could not sign without La Liga’s 1:1 Financial Fair Play rule and asked him to wait.
On the FC Barcelona website, Roberto is still indexed among the team’s players. Nobody can take him away because they count on him and more so in a year as special as the inauguration of the new Camp Nou.
Coach Hansi Flick also has players like Roberto in the team. The local crack contributes a lot to the team on and off the pitch. In a campaign as complicated as the previous one, he managed to keep the dressing room together.
Joan Laporta needs a local player to be captain the day he starts betting in Barcelona’s gleaming stadium. It is for this reason that the club and Sergi Roberto need this total mess to be solved as temporarily as possible.
Roberto has full confidence in the club’s word and even has training with his teammates without a contract. However, the club informed him that for legal reasons he will not be able to train.
Therefore, Roberto still had no choice to organize his own preseason. The 32-year-old is training in Barcelona with a private coach, hoping in the hope that the club will adapt to the situation and eventually call him.
