The renewal of Sergi Roberto will have to wait, at least, a few more days to become official. Joan Laporta's complicated schedule and the complex scenario facing Barça this week force the operation to be postponed until further notice
The renewal of Sergi Roberto with the FC Barcelona is done, but will not make this Tuesday as it was foreseen. The 'stick' of the defeat culé in front of Almería the Sunday and the tightened diary of Joan Laporta have forced the postponement of the act for a date still for confirming, probably for the next week, considering the tightened calendar of the Barça for a week in which it will contest the first of the three Classical in front of the Real Madrid.
The visit to Santiago Bernabéu this Thursday, which will produce in a moment very delicate for the staff by the two consecutive defeats and the multiple drops by injury, give the reason to the directive to postpone the act where the one of Reus will sign agreement by a year more, until June of 2024, with the possibility to extend it until the summer of 2025. The ones of Xavi Hernández will arrive to the gone of the semis of the Glass of the King without Pedri, Ousmane Dembélé neither Robert Lewandowski, last drop by physical problems.
In the meantime, Laporta will take advantage of the Tuesday to assist Mobile World Congress from the 12.30h, an event that already appears in the official diary culé. In this way, Sergi will work to the pair of his mates, waiting for the signature of his new agreement. The player of 31 years was to title in Old Trafford and in the Stadium of the Games of the Mediterranean, completing two quite discreet performances. In front of the Manchester United played 70 minutes, being replaced by Ferran Torres just before the second so much of the venues.
The extreme reconverted in side fracasó in his mission to replace to Gavi and finish sacrificed by Xavi in an attempt of the egarense for looking for the party when the 'network devils' had adueñado of the control of the game. In front of Almería neither had a big night, leaving his place to Pablo Tower to fault of a chamber of hour. In the minutes that was in field, the mediocentro contributed much more that Roberto in attack.
Total agreement between the Barça and Sergi for his renewal
Although the one of Reus prioritised to sign by two fixed seasons, his second year of agreement will depend on several clauses fixed by the Barça. Still like this, the agreement between the player and the club is total to sign a new agreement with a low wage that adjust to the complex panorama that crosses the institution with the 'fair play financial. Sergi Roberto won 4.3 million euros by season, but during the pandemia accepted to go down his emolumentos to 1.7 'kilos' net to the year.
"It does not happen at all, I do it proudly. For me the economic subject is not important, I want to be happy and enjoy of the football", said the Catalan in December, when the press especulaba on his real wage. From the summer, the '20' knows that it will have to contest at least the 60 % of the parties of the season, without excluding those where was lesionado, to be able to aspire to remain until 2025 in Can Barça.
Of equal way, Sergi Roberto knows that each apparition will be considered like official as long as it play at least 45 minutes. Like this, the player is conscious of the importance so much to keep healthy as to win the confidence of Xavi to play as much as was him possible. Without born right sides in the staff, Jules Koundé and Ronald Araújo have alternated the position after the exit of Héctor Bellerín in winter. Also it has tested with Alejandro Balde to profile changed, a variant that also can offer Marcos Alonso.
Xavi trusts fully in Sergi
For the technician egarense, the renewal of Sergi Roberto ensures him have a player with only characteristics in the staff. The one of Reus can be a solution so much in defence as in attack, by which, if it keeps healthy and in shape, has guaranteeed to add a lot of minutes, more when the staff seats the wear of an inclement calendar, as it has been the case in the last weeks.
For the moment, the '20' great 3 goals and 3 assistances in 22 official apparitions (1.177 minutes). The player has lost 8 parties by muscular problems (3) and an injury in the shoulder (5), both suffered between September and October. The past season was five months of drop by an injury in the rectum femoral of the right thigh and recently this year begins to recover the stray continuity in the last two years.
