A stalwart midfield player for La Liga powerhouse Barcelona is getting ready to leave the team. Mundo Deportivo claims that Sergi Roberto is the player in question, and they support their claim.
Naturally, Roberto, a versatile midfielder, has had his future cast doubt recently. The 32-year-old's contract extension seemed almost guaranteed, but Barca's continuous financial difficulties really threw doubt on that. For his part, Roberto has always prioritized the Blaugrana, the team he has played his whole career with, until lately. That seems, however, to have altered in the present. Requested to postpone talks with other clubs until the later stages of the summer while Barcelona manages their finances, the Spanish international has rightly placed his own interests ahead of those of other teams. Furthermore, based on the most recent information, Roberto seems to have come to terms with the fact that he will no longer be playing at Camp Nou.
