Former Barcelona captain Sergi Roberto has signed a two-year deal with newly-promoted Serie A club Como. Roberto, who played his entire career at Barcelona, joins the club as a free agent. Manager Cesc Fabregas praised his versatility. Roberto, 32, brings extensive experience and accolades, including seven La Liga titles.
Former Barcelona midfielder Sergi Roberto has inked a two-year deal with newly-promoted Serie A side Como, the Italian club announced on Friday. The ex-Barcelona captain, who began his journey with the Spanish giants at age 14, joined Como as a free agent following the conclusion of his contract with Barca last season.
"Sergi has played his whole career so far at one of the best clubs in the world," said manager Cesc Fabregas on the club's official website. "He is a versatile player who can adapt to multiple positions, whether in midfield or as a full-back. His passing accuracy and strength make him the epitome of a box-to-box player. His experience will be essential for the upcoming season."
At age 32, Roberto boasts an impressive record, including seven La Liga titles and two Champions League trophies with Barcelona. He has also represented the Spanish national team 11 times, scoring one goal.
Como, coached by former Arsenal, Barcelona, and Chelsea midfielder Cesc Fabregas, rejoined Italy's top football division last season after a 21-year hiatus. The club has recently signed high-profile players such as former Real Madrid and Manchester United defender Raphael Varane, and former Italy striker Andrea Belotti.
