TRANSFER TRACKER STATUS: Signing

The LA Galaxy have signed midfielder Sergi Roberto as a free agent, the club announced Saturday. The former Spain international is under contract through June 2028 with an option for the 2028-2029 season. 

Roberto enjoyed an 18-year career with Spanish powerhouse FC Barcelona, before spending the last two seasons with Italian Serie A side Como 1907.

Roberto tallied 19g/43a in 373 appearances with Barça and helped them win 25 trophies, including seven LaLiga titles and two UEFA Champions League crowns.

While at Como, Roberto produced 1g/1a in 37 games and helped the Italian club earn their first-ever UEFA Champions League qualification.

Internationally, Roberto has scored once in 11 games with Spain.

“Sergi brings a combination of leadership, technical quality, tactical intelligence, and championship experience that few players have,” said Will Kuntz, LA’s general manager.

“He has been a key member of some of the greatest teams of his generation and understands not only what it takes to win, but what it means to be a winning team. Sergi’s character, positional versatility, and leadership will be invaluable, and we are excited to welcome him and his family to the LA Galaxy.”
