Sergi Roberto agrees new deal with Barcelona

Sergi Roberto has agreed to a new contract with Barcelona.

Sport says Roberto will renew with Barcelona until 2023.

The player is out of contract in June and has decided to accept Barcelona's proposal to continue for another season.

The midfielder's agents received a new offer form the club last week after three months without conversations and the player gave the thumbs up. The renewal is for one year with a significant reduction on his current wage. A contract fitting the reality of the club. The player has prioritised the sporting aspect over anything else.

Xavi Hernandez has faith in Sergi Roberto and want him to stay. The coach's intervention was decisive for Barcelona to resume negotiations.
