LA Galaxy Sign Longtime Barcelona Midfielder Sergi Roberto Through 2028
The 34-year-old midfielder adds leadership and versatility after 18 years at Barcelona and two seasons at Como, the club said.
- On Saturday, the LA Galaxy announced the signing of 34-year-old Spanish midfielder Sergi Roberto to a two-year contract through 2028.
- Roberto spent 18 years at Barcelona, earning 25 trophies including two UEFA Champions League titles, before playing the past two seasons at Italian side Como.
- "Sergi brings a combination of leadership, technical quality, tactical intelligence, and championship experience that few players have," LA Galaxy general manager Will Kuntz said, as Roberto joins a team sitting 12th in the Western Conference.
- Roberto will link up with former Barcelona teammate Riqui Puig and German star Marco Reus in the midfield, following the club's loan agreement for Mexican forward Hirving "Chucky" Lozano from San Diego FC.
- Since winning the 2024 MLS Cup, the Galaxy have won just 12 of their 53 subsequent matches, and these signings reflect the organization's push to revamp its roster before moving into 2027.
