Sergi Roberto's agent met with Barcelona on Tuesday to discuss a new contract for the midfielder, according to a report.

Sergi Roberto's agent reportedly met with Barcelona on Tuesday to discuss a new contract for his client.

The 30-year-old, who is closing in on a return from a long-term thigh injury, only has a deal with the Catalan giants until the end of June, and there has been a host of speculation surrounding his future in recent weeks.

Arsenal, Atletico Madrid and Manchester City are believed to be keen on the Spaniard, while a number of MLS clubs have also allegedly been in touch to discuss a possible move to North America.

However, Barcelona boss Xavi recently expressed a desire to keep hold of the midfielder, who has been out of action for his La Liga outfit since October.

According to Catalunya Radio, there was a fresh meeting between club chiefs and Josep Maria Orobitg, who represents Roberto, on Tuesday to discuss an extension at Camp Nou.

The report claims that the two parties failed to come to an agreement but will meet again next week to continue discussions, as the Spaniard would likely have to take a pay cut in order to remain at the club.

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 in the process.
