Barcelona coach Xavi is demanding Sergi Roberto be secured to a new contract.

Sport says Roberto is out of contract in June and has not renewed. He joined the club aged 14 from Gimnastic de Tarragona and his future, right now, is complicated because the offer he has received from the club does not match with what he has in mind.

In September last year, everything seemed on track, but there were some big differences that led to the negotiations being postponed. The need to sign new players in January made it impossible to pick up talks.

The club's posture has not changed but the coach has. Xavi Hernandez now has a big voice in these types of operations. In this sense, he's always expressed himself clearly.

"Sergi Roberto is an important player and I have transmitted that to the club," he said in December. And his opinion has not changed, as he has let the player know.
