Barcelona boss Xavi says that the club 'know his opinion' on the future of Spanish midfielder Sergi Roberto.

Barcelona boss Xavi said that the club 'know his opinion' when asked about Sergi Roberto's future.

The 30-year-old has not played for the Catalan outfit since last October, having been forced to undergo an operation on a thigh problem.

Roberto's current deal at Camp Nou is due to expire at the end of June, meanwhile, and there has been a host of speculation surrounding his future.

Atletico Madrid, Manchester City and Arsenal are three of the clubs believed to be keeping a close eye on the Spaniard's situation at Camp Nou, as he could soon become a free agent.

Xavi has previously expressed a desire to keep hold of Roberto, but the Barcelona boss has said that it is up to the club and the player to attempt to strike a fresh agreement.

"The club knows my opinion. We will see the negotiations of Roberto and the club, he is about to return and is training well. Next week, he may enter the squad list and then it depends on his recovery," Xavi told reporters.

Roberto has made 316 appearances for Barcelona in all competitions, winning six La Liga titles, two Champions League crowns and six Copa del Rey trophies.
