Barcelona midfielder Sergi Roberto has rejected the first offer made by the Barca administration to renew him for a period of only one season, as he wants to renew for at least two seasons.
The Catalan newspaper, Mundo Deportivo, stated that Roberto is committed to continuing with Barcelona, and is ready to reduce his salary or schedule, but he hopes that the term of the new contract will be two seasons. Sergi Roberto’s contract officially expires in the “summer of 2022”, and for this reason, the “Barca” administration rushed to renew it, before he became free to move to any other club in January.
The newspaper said: The negotiations between the club’s management and the player’s agent have not yet resulted in anything new, but the coaching staff led by Ronald Koeman expressed his desire to continue the player with the team, without interfering in the new contractual negotiations.
The newspaper indicated that Sergi Roberto is fully aware of the difficult financial conditions that the club is going through due to the outbreak of the Coronavirus pandemic, and that is why he does not mind scheduling his salary, but he strongly refuses to renew for one season.
Barca management is based on the club’s regulation that stipulates not to renew for more than one season for any player who completes thirty years of age at the end of his current contract, and since Roberto will complete thirty at the end of his contract in 2022, as he was born on February 7, 1992, he is not permitted to According to the club’s regulations, he may renew his contract for more than one season.
Sergi Roberto, who started his professional career with “Barca” under the leadership of Pep Guardiola in 2010, has so far played 300 matches with Barcelona, the last of which was when he participated as a substitute against Villarreal in the 32nd round of the Spanish League, which ended with Barca winning 2-1.
The 300 games played by Roberto are divided into 195 games in La Liga, 46 matches in the King’s Cup, 51 matches in the Champions League, 5 matches in the domestic supercar, one match in the European Super, and two matches in the Club World Cup.
