Sergi Roberto has revealed that he is "optimistic" of signing a new contract with Barcelona.

The 29-year-old's current deal at Camp Nou is due to expire next June, and there had been speculation surrounding his future during the summer transfer window.

However, Barcelona president Joan Laporta recently said that there were only "minor details" to sort out before a new deal was agreed, and Roberto is confident that an announcement is imminent.

"Yes, I am optimistic," Roberto told Sport. "The president has already spoken. It's been a busy summer, a lot has happened, and there are still things around the team going on, but as the president said, I am confident and I think it will be sealed soon."

Roberto, who has recently been linked with Manchester City, is expected to take a significant pay cut in order to sign a deal until the summer of 2024.

The Spain international has scored twice and provided one assist in eight appearances for Ronald Koeman's side during the 2021-22 campaign.
