At the end of his contract with FC Barcelona, Sergi Roberto will not be extending the pleasure. Not included in the plans of the new coach, Hansi Flick, for the coming season while his predecessor on the Catalan bench Xavi was in favour of an extension, the 32-year-old right-back is leaving his training club after 14 years of good and loyal service at the highest level (373 appearances, 19 goals in all competitions).
While FC Barcelona announced the departure of Sergi Roberto via a video published on his X account, the person concerned wanted to send a final message to the Culers supporters: “Culers, the time has come to say thank you to all of you. I leave proud. Proud to have given everything for 18 years and to have always put the interests of the club before my own. I am proud to have become the captain of the club of my life. Thank you to the staff, to the fans for making my journey the best possible. Visça Barça, always!»
