Barcelona captain Sergi Roberto will likely complete a Bosman move to England this summer as he is reportedly considering an offer from a Premier League club.
According to a report by Spanish outlet Mundo Deportivo, Sergi Roberto will likely end his long spell with Barcelona in the summer transfer window. The 32-year-old is technically a free agent, although the Catalan giants have been mulling over keeping hold of him for another year. However, the veteran utility man is considering an offer from a Premier League club, with a Bosman move to England possible.
The Sergi Roberto story
Sergi Roberto has been a dependable performer for Barcelona for nearly a decade, even though he has not displayed the quality to be the undisputed first-choice full-back or midfielder for the club. The Reus native joined Barcelona as a 14-year-old in 2006 before rising through the ranks in La Masia and earning a spot in the first-team squad.
The 32-year-old has turned out over 350 times for Barcelona while chipping in with 19 goals and 43 assists. Roberto succeeded Sergio Busquets as the club captain last year after the veteran midfielder joined Inter Miami. While the veteran utility man was not a first-choice starter, he featured regularly.
The 11-cap Spanish international has become a free agent after his contract with Barcelona ran out earlier this month. While the Catalan giants have been looking to tie him to a new contract, the talks between the two parties have not progressed. So, his spell with the Blaugrana might end after nearly two decades.
What next?
The veteran utility man does not have a shortage of suitors vying for his signature, with several well-known clubs setting their sights on him. Girona and Inter Milan have shown interest in the outgoing Barcelona captain. However, his next destination might be the Premier League.
The report by Mundo Deportivo has claimed that the 32-year-old Spaniard is considering an offer from a Premier League outfit. While the report does not reveal the club’s identity, he will likely complete a Bosman move to England in the summer transfer window.
So, Sergi Roberto’s long Barcelona spell has likely ended, with talks between the two parties not progressing. It will be interesting to see which Premier League club the veteran utility man joins in the coming weeks.
