Sergi Roberto, a 34-year-old midfielder, will be a new player for Los Angeles Galaxy after reaching a verbal agreement with the American team. The former Barcelona player, who ended his contract with Como this summer, has accepted the proposal and only formalities remain to officially confirm his move to the MLS.

The deal comes after several weeks with the player as a free agent after bidding farewell to the Italian club. According to information revealed by Matteo Moretto and confirmed by Fabrizio Romano, the agreement between the parties is already finalized, and the next step will be the signing of the corresponding documentation.

Sergi Roberto switches Europe for Los Angeles Galaxy

Sergi Roberto concludes his European adventure two years after leaving Barcelona to start a new chapter in Como. The player joined the Italian team in the summer of 2024 as a free agent and contributed to the sporting growth of the team led by Cesc Fàbregas.

During his time in Italy, he played 37 official matches with the Lombard club before his contract expired last June. After publicly confirming his departure, the midfielder was free to negotiate with any team.

The proposal from Los Angeles Galaxy convinced the player, who will face the first experience of his career in Major League Soccer. So far, neither the duration of the contract nor the economic conditions of the agreement have been disclosed.

From Barcelona and Como to a new challenge in the United States

Sergi Roberto's career is marked by his long spell at Barcelona, where he played 373 official matches with the first team and won 25 titles, also serving as captain in his final seasons with the Catalan club.

After closing that chapter, he moved to Como, where he played alongside Cesc Fàbregas and helped the Italian team achieve a historic season. The team qualified for the Champions League for the first time before the Spaniard chose not to renew his contract.

The player's versatility, capable of playing as a midfielder, right-back, or winger, was one of the aspects highly valued by the American club to incorporate him into their squad. This ability to occupy various positions has been a constant throughout his professional career.

Los Angeles Galaxy accelerates the final steps of the operation

With the verbal agreement reached, Sergi Roberto's signing now enters the administrative phase. Once the usual procedures are completed and the documents are signed, Los Angeles Galaxy will be able to officially announce the arrival of the former Barcelona and Como player as a new reinforcement for the end of the MLS season.
