Arsenal has been monitoring Sergi Roberto for a significant period, coinciding with Mikel Arteta’s tenure as their manager. Each summer, there have been speculations about the full-back leaving Barcelona, and Arsenal being linked with a potential move for him.
Despite the recurring rumours, Roberto typically renews his contract with the Catalan club, thereby ending Arsenal’s pursuit of his signature. However, with Roberto set to be a casualty of Xavi Hernandez’s decision to depart Barcelona at the end of the season, the situation has changed.
According to AS, Barcelona is expected to release the defender, making him a free agent. Arsenal, remaining open to the idea of bringing him to London, now has the opportunity to sign the experienced and successful player in the upcoming summer transfer window.
Just Arsenal Opinion
Roberto has won many trophies on the books of Barcelona and will be one of the most experienced free agents we can sign.
However, he is already 31 and can offer us very little value in the long term, so we have to sign someone younger now.
We have done so in the last few transfer windows and can see how our team has improved, no need to change that.

We have enough Dads Army players. This one cannot happen, 31 years old having a 4 year contract taking him up to 35, will not happen at Arsenal, unless he accepts a 1 year contract.
Not only “cannot happen” but 100% certainly WONT HAPPEN.
Regulars like me get used to constant false rumours on JA.
When you think about those rumours, several each day, if we signed even ten percent ,out squad would already be hundreds, rather than twenty odd deep.
And we would long ago have gone out of business by being BROKE AND SKINT.
NEVER HAPPENING!!
So sad! For some reason he never attained his peak. I feel sorry for him.
I wouldnt mind the age, he is experienced and still pacy. His big match experience would be very helpful for Arsenal.
