League football. With his contract about to expire, Roberto gradually realized that his future at Barcelona was not looking good.
Roberto had expected Barcelona to extend his contract with him for another season, regardless of whether or not Xavi remained in charge. However, the club's financial situation has resulted in him no longer being a priority. Now, with just over a week left until his contract expires, Roberto has begun to discount the idea of continuing to wait for Barcelona and is instead considering offers from other teams.
While La Liga clubs such as Girona, Valencia and Sevilla and Serie A clubs such as Inter Milan have shown keen interest in Roberto, he would prefer to play in the Premier League. His agency has reportedly received calls from English clubs and initial contacts have been very positive, although no decision has been made.
Roberto has had two meetings with Barcelona's sporting director, Deco. In the first meeting, Deco assured him that he would be rehired; however, in the second meeting, Deco explained the difficulties in renewing his contract, stating that Roberto would be on the waiting list for registration, while there were other teammates ahead of him waiting to be registered. Roberto now wants a definitive answer as soon as possible.
Roberto is at a crucial point in his career and leaving Barcelona to play in the Premier League could bring him new challenges and opportunities. The high level of competition and intense pace of the Premier League will provide a new stage for the versatile midfielder to showcase his skills and abilities.
