Sergi Roberto, the first to suffer from Xavi's departure

Changes are on the horizon at Barcelona for next season. After announcing a few days ago the departure of Xavi Hernandez, who will step down as Barca coach on 30 June, Sergi Roberto will be the next to leave the 'cule' team.

This is not yet official, but the national media are already echoing his more than possible farewell. This is the case of 'Relevo', which points out that the 'cule' club has no intention of renewing the versatile player, who also finishes his contract at the end of the current season.

The source says that Deco, the club's sporting director, will communicate this in the next few days to a player who was very affected by Xavi's resignation. The player from Reus always had the support of his coach - he asked for his continuity - and did not hesitate to apologise to him on behalf of the whole squad.

In fact, Sergi Roberto even asked the coach if it was possible that he might reconsider his decision. If nothing goes wrong, the player, who has always played everything that has been asked of him, will put an end to 14 uninterrupted seasons at 'Can Barca'. So far this season, he has made 14 appearances, scoring 3 goals and providing 1 assist.
