According to Spanish media outlet relevo, FC Barcelona recently offered Sergi Roberto a
Contract extension at reduced salary
, but the veteran player has yet to accept the offer.
According to reports.
Barcelona
Initially there was no intention to extend Roberto's contract, but then the sporting department changed its mind and recently offered a contract extension at a reduced salary. Even though Xavi had been a major supporter of Roberto, the Barcelona hierarchy still believe that Roberto should stay in the team even after Xavi's departure.
The terms of the contract extension offered by the head of Barcelona's sports department, Deco, and his team depend on the club's fair play situation. In other words, Barcelona has offered a contract extension, but there is no guarantee that Roberto will be registered in La Liga afterwards.
Roberto's contract extension will also depend on Barcelona's summer transfers and how far the club is able to reduce its wage burden. It's a daunting task for Barca's sporting department.
Currently, Roberto's contract has expired and he is in free agency. Despite being offered a new contract extension by Barcelona, Roberto did not immediately accept the offer.
