Sergi Roberto Departs Barcelona Due to FFP

Barcelona has announced that long-time captain Sergi Roberto is leaving the club after an 18-year tenure that began at the La Masia academy. Roberto, who played 373 games and scored 19 goals for Barcelona, is known for his versatility, having played in midfield, right-back, and winger roles. His most iconic moment came when he scored the decisive goal in Barcelona's historic 6-1 comeback against Paris Saint-Germain in the 2017 Champions League. Despite hopes of extending his contract, financial fair play concerns prevented the club from doing so. Roberto leaves Barcelona with an impressive haul of 25 trophies, including two Champions League titles and seven La Liga championships. He has been linked with potential moves to Fiorentina or Ajax.
