Last week, Barcelona head coach Xavi Hernandez publicly urged the club to ensure that Sergi Roberto remains for at least one season. The 31-year-old, who is first team captain, is out of contract in the summer, so is able to sign a pre-contract agreement with another club right now.
While that is unlikely to happen, it’s not yet clear whether Roberto will continue at Barcelona next season. This is because MD say that talks have yet to take place over a renewal, despite Xavi’s words last week.
Barcelona are not in a hurry to enter into negotiations with Roberto, and it must also be said that the feeling is mutual. The midfielder is fully focused on his football at the moment, especially given that he is now firmly in contention after injuries to Pedri and Gavi.
Roberto’s future could also depend on whether Barcelona sign a midfielder this month. Sporting Director Deco has been tasked with making a signing, although due to the club’s financial woes, it looks unlikely to happen at this stage.

xavi is Barca's big problem.bcos u can't coach in Qatar n come to handle a big club like barca. go n assist pep gain experience then come
@pibbkmnopt you are the one being unreasonable here, so because Xavi brought a title to us when Madrid was out of form, that means who should be happy and keep praising him? We saw a sweet playing attractive Xavi at Saudi and since he came to Barca, we have hardly played a beautiful game for atleast 60mins, we struggle even against lower division…I ask you, what vision do you see in this team, no understanding, the positioning he preached about, they hardly display it here, most of them don’t even know how to trap a ball, ball control is zero…what does he do in the training. An almighty Barca started depending on 2 youngsters: pedri and gavi. As Both are injured, Barca is struggling😤

you're a useless fan,just quit Barca and support other useless clubs whose fans do not appreciate success. Xavi has only stayed for two seasons and he brought the Barca fan's smiles back with trophies so what else do you want ?just shut up

Real Madrid are leaders... Have you heard about Negreira lately? Well, see you later! Sociological Madridism."

Xavi needs to work on tactics and be bold with selections, we cant depend on Lewandowski anymore. We need a striker who can make those runs needed to unsettle the defence, we need the forward line to press and the who team to play as a unit. Lewandowski should play for 60 minutes maximum if he doesnt score pull him out bring in Roque. We need consistency, give chances to players who deserve it. Against Osasuna we should play 4-3-3 which shift to a back three allowing Balde to bomb forward and Ferran to come inside. Christensen should cover for Balde and De Jong to interchange with Gundogan on that DM role. Lopez and Ferran need to utilise the spaces between the line aggressively while Raphinha and Balde stretch the pitch. We can easily win this game.
