"Barcelona" bid farewell to S. Samper

In 2001, Sergi Samper, who opened the doors of the Barcelona Academy, finally says goodbye to the Catalan club.

Barca confirmed on their official website that they have mutually agreed to terminate the contract with the footballer. It has not been officially announced yet, but it is known that the defender will go to Japan to play for the "Vissel Kobe" club, where Andres Iniesta also plays.

S. Samper has been considered one of the biggest talents of Barcelona for a long time, but severe injuries have stopped the player's progress.

The 24-year-old defender has been loaned out to "La Liga" teams such as Granada and Las Palmas in recent years.

In the main team, S. Samper has only managed to play in 13 matches.
