Agreement with UD Las Palmas for loan of Sergi Samper

FC Barcelona and UD Las Palmas have reached an agreement for the loan of Sergi Samper to the latter for the 2017/18 season.

The Canary Islanders finished 14th in La Liga last season to secure a third consecutive term of top flight football. New manager Manolo Márquez watched his team lose 1-0 at Valencia in their opening league fixture.

The 22 year old made his Barça first team debut in a 2014/15 Champions League game against APOEL at the Camp Nou, and has gone on to amass 12 official appearances: four in 2014/15, seven in 2015/16 and one in 2016/17.

The defensive midfielder spent last season on loan to Granada, where he featured in 22 Liga encounters and one in the Copa del Rey.
