OFFICIAL: Roberto, the former captain of Barcelona, signs a two-year contract with Como

Como 1907 is excited to announce the signing of midfielder Sergi Roberto on a two-year contract. The former Barcelona captain, who joined the club as a 14-year-old and went on to win seven La Liga championships and two Champions Leagues, joined the club as a free agent.

Sergio has 479 competitive appearances under his belt, including playing in the Copa del Rey, the FIFA Club World Cup, and for the Spanish national team.

Commenting on the signing, head coach Cesc F�bregas commented, �Sergi has played his whole career so far at one of the best clubs in the world. He is a versatile player and can adapt to many different positions, midfield, full-back. With his passing accuracy and strength, he is the definition of a box-to-box player. His experience will be crucial for the season ahead.�

On signing for the club, Sergi said: �I see this as a new challenge in my career; I really believe in the project; I met the owners, and they are very excited about this; I think they are doing the right things, and I�m happy to be part of it. When Cesc first contacted me, he explained to me the ambitions of the club coming from lower divisions all the way to Serie A in five years and his ambition as a coach. So it�s exciting for me to come and be part of the growth of the club. I think I can help achieve the goals of the club with hard work, and I�m looking forward to getting started.�.

Former Atl�tico de Madrid forward, 20, signs until 2029.

Samu Omorodion is FC Porto's first signing for the 2024/25 season. Having just become an Olympic champion with the Spanish national team, the 20-year-old striker moves from Madrid to Porto and from Atl�tico to FC Porto for �15 million for 50% of his economic rights. He signs a contract valid for five seasons, until 2029, with a release clause of �100 million and two non-mandatory purchase options of an additional 15% for �5 million each.

"It is an honor to be part of a club with FC Porto's enormous history. I know the responsibility that comes with playing here, where strikers like Gomes, Jardel, Falcao, and Jackson Mart�nez have played, but I know I'm ready," declared the new number 9 in his first statements in blue and white.

Born to Nigerian parents and a native of Melilla, a Spanish enclave in North Africa, Samuel Omorodion Aghehowa moved to Seville during his childhood and started playing football at the AD Nervi�n youth academy before joining Granada's youth ranks. Always moving up the ranks, he scored 18 goals in 33 games for Granada's B team, catching the eye of a capital giant.

Atleti paid a small fortune to acquire him from Granada last summer, loaned him to Alav�s, and the 1.93-meter, 90-kilogram athlete continued to impress in the Basque Country, scoring eight goals and providing one assist in the 34 La Liga matches he played.
