Transfer ALERT! Barcelona star unhappy with role amid links with Chelsea and Manchester United

Chelsea and Manchester United target Sergi Roberto has told Barcelona they need to give him regular playing time in midfield.

The Spaniard broke into the club's first-team last season, but he spent most of the campaign filling in at right-back after Dani Alves left for Juventus.

The 25-year-old wants to play in the middle of the park and he has recently, under new Barca boss Ernesto Valverde, been given the chance to do so.

Chelsea and Manchester United have taken note and they are willing to give Roberto what he desires, if he cannot get it at the Camp Nou.
