Juventus step up chase for Sergi Roberto

Spanish newspaper Marca understands that Juventus are stepping up their efforts to sign Barcelona midfielder Sergi Roberto.

The Bianconeri have been showing interest in the Spain international for quite a while and they have been alerted by the latest developments.

Namely, Sergi Roberto and his agents have rejected the latest contract offer from Barcelona, meaning the player’s long-term future at Camp Nou is in doubt.

The midfielder’s current deal runs until June 2019 and contains a €40 million release clause.

Manchester United and Chelsea are also believed to be keen on the player who has mostly been used as a right-back over the last couple of years.
