Sergi Roberto's contract at Barcelona expires in 2022 and the club is yet to open official talks over a possible extension, ARA's reputable Xavi Hernandez Navarro reports.
It's said that the Catalans' idea is to offer him a short-term deal on lower wages, with the La Masia graduate set to turn 30 next year. Barca can no longer afford his salary of €9m per year.
Although his preferred option would be to continue at Camp Nou, Roberto is considering other future options, the same source adds. He's unhappy with the club offering him a one-year extension only.
Meanwhile, Sergi has suffered a relapse which will reportedly see him sidelined for several months, making him unavailable for this summer's Euros.
In total, the 29-year-old made 20 appearances for Barca this term, scoring a goal and providing two assists.
