The FC Barcelona took the decision, does some months, to renew the agreement of Sergi Roberto. It was an operation that did not depend on the continuity of Xavi Hernández and in which they carry working by more than two months, but that have not been able to concretise to date. The player is expecting that they call him to visit the dispatches of the club and stamp the signature in an agreement until 30 June 2025.
The Barcelona do not have him 'contacted' and, although it produced some nervisosismo, has not changed the will to follow having he by a year more. The problem is that, for the moment, in the club are in full analysis to define in which conditions will be regarding the Fair Play financial. It is not a secret for anybody that have to resolve several 'folders' before being able to begin to close operations (low, high, renewals...).
The clause of Deco that can 'surprise' to Sergi Roberto
The true is that, in the middle of the process of analysis, in the Barça would be studying the possibility of a surprising clause that has proposed Deco Souza, Barcelona sportive director. The same, according to an information of Laia Tudel in 'Tot Coast' of Catalonia Ràdio, would be of the option that, if the club is not able to process his registration in LaLiga on 12 August, will be in capacity of 'break' the agreement without legal or economic consequences.
That is to say, in case that the Barcelona group was not able to promise the registration of Sergi Roberto two weeks and half before it finish the market of signings estival, will be able to cancel the renewal without having to pay him at all to the of Reus, that would have to leave to look for a new team in record time. It is a clause that will give a lot of what speak and that it could change the posture of the player regarding his future in the Barça.
The Barça has Sergi Roberto
The next weeks will be key. In the club do not hide that they want to have the player for the next course, by his commitment and because the intention of Joan Laporta is that the captain of the team, when they return to the Camp Nou, was a footballer formed in The Masia. Sergi Roberto already has 12 years in the first team and wants to more... But it will be necessary to expect his posture in front of this new clause.
