Sergi Roberto to Leave Como After Two Seasons Amid Contract Stalemate

Sergi Roberto will not continue at Como, ending a two-year spell with the Italian club coached by Cesc Fabregas. The former Barcelona player, who is married to Israeli model Coral Simanovich, earned about 2.2 million euros per season at Como.

In the current campaign, Roberto started only five matches and also dealt with a serious injury. Over the last four games of the season, he was used mainly as a substitute and played only brief minutes. He had started just two matches since September, and he alternated wearing the captain’s armband.

Despite his reduced role at 34, Roberto was an important member of the squad that helped Como win promotion to Serie A and later qualify for the Champions League. He held substantial talks with Como over a contract extension, but the negotiations did not result in a new deal.

At the moment, he does not have a clear destination, although Fiorentina, Juventus, or other clubs that often sign players on free transfers could move for him. In his farewell post, Roberto said that reaching the Champions League felt like a dream, that Como had become a home for him, and that the club has a very bright future.
