Several Premier League clubs interested in signing Barcelona defender .The out-of-favor defender Sergi Roberto has accepted that his time at Barcelona is over and is now more interested in joining the English Premier League to stay relevant.
The versatile defender’s contract will expire at the end of the current campaign, according to Mundo Deportivo. The Catalan management has chosen to go with someone youthful and more vibrant even though he is still waiting for Barcelona to present a renewal offer.
The Milan midfielder Franck Kessie, who will be a free agency at the end of the current campaign, has been chosen over everyone else in that situation. As a result, even if Barcelona decides to offer Roberto a new contract, one can reasonably anticipate that it will be little more than a formality.
Roberto, who is currently one of the Barcelona’s longest-tenured players, will essentially have to accept a significant wage drop if he wants to continue playing for his childhood team, a pay cut of 75%.

Moving away, therefore, continues to be the best option for all parties concerned. Interestingly, the six-time La Liga winner has plenty of offers despite his recent struggles with fitness. Journalist Toni Juanmarti had previously stated his desire to play in Major League Soccer (MLS), but he has since decided to play in a highly competitive league in order to remain in Europe.
Since Roberto has long been interested in the English Premier League, it has surfaced as his next possible destination.
After undergoing surgery in December, Robert, a two-time UEFA Champions League champion with Barcelona, is now very close to being fully recovered. Even for him, the main goal is to reach 100% fitness and support Xavi in pushing through the season’s remaining challenges.
