Barcelona star Sergi Roberto has signed a new contract with La Liga leaders until 2022.
Barcelona midfielder Sergi Roberto has signed an extension to his current contract with the Catalan club, which will see him remain at the Nou Camp until 2022.
Confirmed on the official Twitter account, the midfielder will have a release clause of €500m in an attempt to fend off potential suitors. This is done to avoid losing another one of their prospects to European rivals following Neymar’s shock departure to PSG last summer.
