Sergi Gómez could end up at Espanyol and in fact he is finalizing his incorporation to the Barcelona team after the central defender did not accompany his team to the concentration that he is going to carry out this week in Portugal.
The 29-year-old player raised in the Barcelona quarry and who came to Sevilla from Celta is also in Barcelona, where he has attended the birth of his son. According to information from ‘La Grada’, he is finalizing the details of a contract with Espanyol, for which he will be one of his reinforcements on his return to Primera.
Sergi Gómez has only one year of contract ahead of him at Sevilla, who will also not put up many obstacles to facilitate his departure, since he is aware of the professionalism that the footballer has shown during his stay at the club. The player himself acknowledged with resignation that with the couple formed by Koundé and Diego Carlos, “the best central defense partner in Europe”, he had very difficult to compete in Sevilla.
However, it was always the third option for Lopetegui despite the fact that the coach encouraged him to accept an offer to leave in his first season at the club. The player had options to go to Turkey and the Italian league and preferred to stay at Sevilla.
