Sergi Roberto

[wisconsincule]

Needs to play in the midfield where he is supposed to be playing. We’ve gotta let Semedo grow as well. My mouth is watering with these two and Dembele on the right side.

Bartomeu announced Sergi will always be linked to the club.

 

[xXKonan]

Didn't really have a great performance yesterday. He had a couple of runs here and there but nothing to write home about and he looked pretty shaky defensively.

 

[Sorin]

Well he's not a RB. He doesn't have the positional play of a defender.

According to Xavi Campos (Cat Radio) the renewal of Roberto is advanced and will likely be announced at the end of the year.

This board is insane. There's no way Roberto deserves to be paid that much.

 

[Xaviniesta]

Unless they are planning to sell Rakitic and make Roberto the starting CM, that is indeed too much for him

 

[Deco 20]

Are we really paying him more than Xavi got? that's stupid

 

[behindbrowneyes]

Apparently Juve and Chelsea were ready to match his buy-out, so Sergi was in a good position for negotiations. Might also be a "compensation" because he earned too less in the last 2 years. Sounds stupid, but we did the same with Suárez and Rakitic. However, our club pays too high salaries. They don't only play here for status.

Bartomeu was under pressure too because Sergi is the only "younger" graduate of La Masia that is one of our first 13 players.

It's gross, which means before taxes.

 

[khaled_a_d]

Isn't 10M gross something like 5M net? That sound reasonable, a bargain by the time his contract ends

Indeed, it's a gross amount of money.

 

[FinBarcelonafan]

Hmmp a bit high but I think he will be worth it. I assume he will be starter for us next season in midfield.

Doubt it.

Yep.
