O Barcelona is focused on maintaining its squad for next season and, for that, Barça’s board plans involve announcing the renewal of full-back Sergi Roberto for another season.

The agreement between club and player has been signed for more than two weeks, Sergi Roberto shows great interest in continuing at Camp Nou and is willing to receive a low salary, taking into account Barcelona’s financial situation, to remain in the team.
Barça’s intention is to make the 31-year-old versatile player’s renewal official for another season – with the option of a second. However, the club is still waiting for the match against Almería for the announcement, as a defeat would change plans, as the club is concerned about the image that would be passed on to the fans.
Furthermore, the elimination of Barcelona in the Europa League this Thursday, for Manchester United, is also a factor in the delay in announcing the renewal.
Sergi Roberto is an important player for coach Xavi and very identified with the club – as he was revealed in Barça’s youth categories. This season, he has played in 21 matches, scoring three goals and distributing three assists.
