According to the newspaper Sport, Sergi Roberto is already going to sign his new contract with Barça next Friday, a contract that will bind him to the Barça club for another year, that is, until June 30, 2023. This contract extension brings with it a significant reduction in his salary since it was one of the conditions imposed by the club to extend his stay at the Camp Nou longer. The player has always maintained that his idea was to stay longer and has waited a long time to have a firm proposal from the team.
Xavi, crucial for the player
