talkSPORT: Sergi Roberto profile
Nov 5th 2013, 12:17

This story has been reproduced from today's media. It does not necessarily represent the position of Liverpool Football Club.

Reports in England this week claim that Liverpool and Tottenham are pursuing Barcelona midfielder Sergi Roberto. Wrestling the Catalan from his club's grasp could be difficult however, and even more so with Manchester City, Real Madrid and AC Milan said to be keeping tabs on him. talkSPORT's Transfer Spotlight has more...

Name: Sergi Roberto
Date of birth: February 7, 1992
Birthplace: Reus, Spain
Club: FC Barcelona
Position: Midfielder
International appearances: 8 (Spain U21) / 2 (Catalonia)
Honours: Copa del Rey (2011/12), Supercopa de Espana (2013)

What's the latest?
Sergi Roberto has been earmarked as the future of the Barcelona midfield for some years now, and the youngster's path to the first team seemed to be even clearer when Thiago Alcantara made an unexpected exit from the Catalan side last summer. Things haven't been so easy for Roberto however, and he isn't playing as much as he would like to this season. Regardless, agent Josep Maria Orobitg has made it clear that his future is in the hands of the club, and it is highly unlikely that Barca would sanction a sale. There could be some hope for Liverpool or Tottenham if they are willing to take a leaf out of Everton's book and attempt a loan move however, as Gerard Deulofeu, a player of similar stature from the Barcelona youth set up, is currently at Goodison Park temporarily. 

Did you know?

1) Roberto started out with Nastic de Tarragona, a side based near his hometown of Reus that had a recent spell in the Spanish top flight. He joined Barcelona's academy as a 14-year-old in 2004.

2) In the 2009/10 season he made his debut with Barcelona's B team in the Spanish third division at the age of 17. He went on to play 23 games for Luis Enrique's side that year, helping them to achieve promotion to the second tier.

3) With Thiago's permanent promotion to the Barcelona first team, Roberto became the playmaker of choice at Barcelona B, donning the number 10 shirt. His tendency to make bursting runs into the box led to comparisons with Cesc Fabregas.

4) The youngster's first taste of senior Barcelona action came in the 2010/11 pre-season, when he made his unofficial debut. His official debut came in a Copa del Rey clash against Cueta in November 2010, while most notably, his Champions League debut came in a 2-0 semi-final away win against Real Madrid in 2011.

5) In this year's pre-season he was officially promoted to the first team, and has since made three appearances for Barca in La Liga. He has often missed out on a place in matchday squads, however.

They say
"All of the Barcelona coaches and sporting directors that have observed Roberto's progress believe he is one of the players destined to make the first team. His agent constantly reiterates that he has a contract until 2015 and a €20m buyout clause. Roberto wants to play with Barca, but he also wants to play, and isn't." Mundo Deportivo on Roberto's situation.

Echo: One more honour for Carra
Nov 5th 2013, 10:23

This story has been reproduced from today's media. It does not necessarily represent the position of Liverpool Football Club.

Jamie Carragher collected probably his last football award last night - and it was a prestigious one.

The recently retired Liverpool FC defender collected the Premier League Player of the Year title at the North West Football Awards.

The award is voted for by the fans and Carragher was at Lancashire Cricket Club's Point Conference Centre to receive the accolade.

Carragher, now a successful Sky TV pundit, saw off competition from Everton left-back, Leighton Baines, Manchester United's England midfielder Michael Carrick and City defender Pablo Zabaleta.

It's the second consecutive season this particular award has gone to Anfield after Martin Skrtel's success at the 2012 Awards night.

Anfield starlet Jerome Sinclair, who made his senior debut in the Capital One Cup at West Bromwich Albion last season, was named Rising Star of the Year, while there were also strong Anfield links to two of the other individual awards.

Former Red John Welsh, now at Preston, won the League One Player of the Year award while Bolton's Jay Spearing, who spent last season on loan at the Reebok before sealing a permanent move from Anfield, was the Championship's Player of the Year.

Everton, whose VIP guests included manager Roberto Martinez and Sir Philip Carter, were also honoured.

Indeed, it was a magical night for Toni Duggan, who became the Women's Player of the Year recipient, while the Goodison Park club's community department was rewarded for its hard work with two notable honours.

The Blues collected the Community Club of the Year award and jointly received the Community Initiative of the Year award with Bolton.

The Toffees were also honoured for Best Marketing Campaign, while the Reds received the CSR Campaign of the Year award and Best Club Sponsorship Engagement/Partnership.

Joining the Award winners were a family whose name is synonymous with sport in the North West - the Nevilles.

Brothers Phil and Gary spent their entire playing career in the Premier League with Manchester United and then in Phil's case, at Everton.

Phil is now on United's coaching staff; Gary combines his role as a successful TV pundit with his job on the England coaching staff. Mum Jill has also given sterling service to the game as company secretary at Bury for more than 20 years and who, in 2012, was granted the freedom of Bury for her loyal service.

The Northwest Football Awards, managed by Journey9, was hosted by BBC Television's Football Focus presenter, Dan Walker, and broadcast live for the first time on BBC Radio Lancashire, BBC Radio Manchester and BBC Radio Merseyside.

Independent: Reds consider Roberto
Nov 5th 2013, 13:08

This story has been reproduced from today's media. It does not necessarily represent the position of Liverpool Football Club.

Liverpool and Tottenham are believed to be considering a move for Barcelona midfielder Sergi Roberto, according to reports in Spain.

Roberto is currently out of favour under manager Gerardo Martino, despite being touted as having a bright future - one of many shining lights to develop through the Catalans' youth ranks.

However, Spanish newspaper El Mundo Deportivo are reporting that both Tottenham and Liverpool are keen on signing the 21-year-old, and have already made enquiries to the player's agent as they look to strengthen their attack.

One potential stumbling block would be the asking price though, with the Spanish league champions reluctant to sell one of their young talents. Roberto does have a release clause in his contract, and a potential suitor would need to cough up €20m (£16.8m) to lure him away from the Nou Camp.

Roberto has been with the club since he joined the academy in 2006, making his first-team debut four years later, although he has become frustrated with his lack of opportunities having made just six league appearances since then.

Italian side AC Milan have also enquired over the attacking midfielder's availability, although the price could pose a major problem in their attempts to sign Roberto. One solution would be to fund the move with the sale of young forward Stephan El Shaarawy, with reported interest coming from Arsenal, Spurs and Manchester City.

talkSPORT: In-form Iturbe in demand
Nov 5th 2013, 16:23

Liverpool will battle Inter Milan and Verona to sign Argentine winger Juan Manuel Iturbe.

The 20-year-old, who joined Porto from Paraguayan side Cerro Porteno in 2010, is currently flourishing on loan at Verona, where he has scored twice in seven Serie A appearances.

The terms of Iturbe's loan deal allow the Italians to purchase him outright at the end of the season - but it is unclear if they will be able to afford his £11.75m fee.

And Iturbe's agent Claudio Pasqualin believes Verona may look to split his ownership rights with Inter Milan next summer.

He said: "Iturbe is a surprise and if he can sustain himself he will become a very important player, emulating the feats of Alexis Sanchez.

"It will not be a problem for Verona to find a partner for his signature. I think it might be Inter Milan, but he must first prove himself this season."

Former Liverpool midfielder Mohamed Sissoko is set to join Anderlecht following a successful trial with the Belgian side.

talkSPORT told you last week that the Mali international, 28, was looking to earn a contract at Anderlecht having left Paris St-Germain earlier this year.

He was tipped to join Reading but failed to strike a deal with the Championship club.

And the former Anfield ace has revealed he is on the verge of signing terms with Anderlecht.

He told La Derniere Heure: "The trial went well. I'm not ready to take to the field, but this may happen soon. I want to play for this team."

ClubCall: Defender in talks?
Nov 4th 2013, 10:45

This story has been reproduced from today's media. It does not necessarily represent the position of Liverpool Football Club.

Brendan Rodgers has been linked with a move for Djurgarden IF defender Daniel Amartey and the player claims talks are underway.

The 18-year-old has caught the eye of many clubs across Europe with some outstanding displays and Rodgers is planning a cut-price swoop on the youngster who is seen as one for the future.

Although his agent would not comment on reports that he has been linked with Liverpool, the player himself was not as coy and he admitted he would be delighted if a move came off.

"I have been in contact with the Liverpool management," he said.

"I hope we can sort a transfer out - it's a great club to play for."

Amartey's agent, Patrick Dark, would not comment on any Liverpool approach but did claim there was plenty of interest in the Ghana-born defender who can also operate in midfield.
