Barcelona midfielder Sergi Roberto is ready to quit for England in the coming days.

Roberto, reports Sport, is fuming after seeing Paulinho arrive from Guangzhou Evergrande yesterday.

The midfielder, who did not start Sunday's Supercopa defeat to Real Madrid, is convinced he faces a season in the stands if he chooses to stay.

Manchester United and Chelsea are willing to meet Roberto's €40m buyout clause, as are Juventus and AC Milan. However, he prefers a move to England.

Josep Maria Orobitg, the player's agent, has held a series meetings with Barca directors about the situation - and it's emerging Roberto is now ready to leave.
