Barcelona captain Sergi Roberto held Saudi talks

Barcelona captain Sergi Roberto has rejected an offer from Saudi Arabia.

Sport says Barca granted Roberto permission to speak with SPL clubs.

The unnamed club were willing to pay €15m for his transfer.

But Roberto has decided to stay with Barca, having taken a pay-cut to pen a new deal this season.

The defensive utility was named club captain after Sergi Busquets left for Inter Miami at the end of last season.
