Xavi insists on Barca keeping Sergi Roberto

Xavi insists on Barcelona keeping Sergi Roberto at the club as his contract expires at the end of the season, Mundo Deportivo's reputable Gabriel Sans claims.

Thus, the Catalans are open to negotiating a new deal. However, they insist on Roberto accepting the initial offer, which the player considered too low.

Sergi wants a pay cut similar to the other captains, though. The positions between the parties remain distant.

The 30-year-old has been struggling with injuries in the past two seasons. This term so far, the Spaniard has recorded two goals and one assist in 12 matches for Barca.
