Barca terminate injury prone Sergi Samper contract

Published




Barcelona midfielder, Sergi Samper, will leave Barça and play for Japanese side Vissel Kobe.

According to reports, the midfielder and the club reached an agreement to terminate his contract early and he’ll say his official farewells on Monday.

Samper made his debut for the FC Barcelona first team in the 2014/15 season in a 1-0 Champions League victory against APOEL at Camp Nou. In total, he played 13 times for the first team: four in 2014/15, seven in 2015/16 and once in the seasons 2016/17 and 2018/19.

Samper hasn’t enjoyed success with the first team since he was promoted to it in 2016.

In the season 2016/17 Samper played 23 games on loan at Granada and in 2017/18 he played five times for Las Pa almas also on loan before serious injury forced him to return to Barcelona in the middle of the season.

He spent time on loan at Granada but poor results saw his manager Paco Jemez sacked and, with it, saw his chances in the team reduced. He returned to Barça and Jemez, now at Las Palmas, brought him in again. He suffered a serious injury though and returned to the Camp Nou early.

With Barca, the midfielder won one league title, a Champions League title, a Copa del Rey, a World Club Cup, and a Spanish Super Cup.
