Barca count on Sergi Roberto for next season

Sergi Roberto's renewal is on the table at 'Can Barca', according to newspaper 'Sport'. The Catalan giants want the Spaniard to continue next season. Furthermore, Xavi, despite leaving the bench at the end of this season, has recommended his continuity. 

There are no deadlines set for dialogue on either side, but what does seem clear is that the player prefers to wait until June, when his contract expires, to make a decision. The Catalan media explain that the midfielder would not stay if the new coach does not count on him. 

In recent times, Sergi Roberto's extensions have been on a year-to-year basis, and with lower economic conditions. This has helped Barca a lot to alleviate their wage bill. The 'cules' directors are happy with his attitude. 

The Barca captain returned against Napoli after overcoming his Achilles tendon problems. Moreover, he did so with an outstanding performance in the half hour he was on the pitch.
