Who should captain Barcelona if Sergi Roberto leaves?

Although nothing has been finalised as yet, there does appear to be a possibility that Sergi Roberto will leave the club this summer.

A potential move to Inter Miami to join up with the ex-Barca contingent isn’t without foundation, though if it becomes obvious the midfielder is moving on to pastures new, there are bound to be a number of clubs interested in his services.

That would leave a question mark as to who would replace him as club captain…

Marc-Andre ter Stegen

The current incumbent when Sergi Roberto has been injured or not selected, Marc-Andre ter Stegen is more than likely to be promoted to first choice.

A keeper that can see it all from his position on the pitch, he has grown into the role when needed and isn’t afraid to let his defenders have it when they’ve let the team down.

Ilkay Gundogan

Ilkay Gundogan is the current German national team captain and would be my pick to replace Sergi Roberto.

A commanding presence on and off the pitch, ‘Gundo’ isn’t frightened of digging his team-mates out and telling it how it is. Just ask Ronald Araujo.

Expects total commitment from everyone whilst always giving 100 percent himself.
