Samper set for Barcelona first-team role

Barcelona have confirmed midfielder Sergi Samper will remain at the club this season and be part of the first-team squad.

The 23-year-old has agreed to stay at Camp Nou and will wear the number 16 shirt for the rest of the 2018-19 campaign.

Samper, a graduate of Barca's academy, was loaned to Las Palmas last term but missed the majority of the second half of the season due to a serious leg and ankle injury.
