Xavi Hernandez tells Barcelona to secure Sergi Roberto extension

Roberto is currently sidelined through injury, but his versatility and willingness to play a squad role, has proven valuable for Xavi this season.

Xavi was asked about his view on what the club should do regarding Roberto’s future, and the former Spanish international is clear on his preference for a renewal, despite his own exit.

“I don’t know if it will be his last season. My recommendation to the club is to renew him”, as per reports from Diario Sport.

“I think he’s a very important team player, both in the locker room and on the field.”

Barcelona host Granada in La Liga action this weekend as Xavi aims to keep his side in the title race in the coming weeks.
