Sergi Roberto’s agent hits out at Laporta over Barcelona contract

Sergi Roberto’s agent has spoken out about the 30-year-old’s future and isn’t too impressed with what Barcelona president Joan Laporta has been saying about his client.

Laporta has said Roberto didn’t want to sign a contract extension offered earlier in the season and added the midfielder’s future “is in the hands of his representatives.”

Josep Maria Orobitg has told Mundo Deportivo that Laporta’s version of events “do not conform to reality” and offered his side of the story.

Roberto’s agent said that “in August there was a very low counteroffer from the club” but was followed by a meeting with player and president.
