The highly rated midfielder has revealed he has learned a lot from his idol over the years and has also admitted he turned down several clubs to fight for his place at Camp Nou
Sergi Samper has described Barcelona teammate Andres Iniesta as his “role model” and revealed he turned down several clubs to fight for his place at Camp Nou.
The 21-year-old recently signed a new deal at the club, having played 103 matches for Barca B, while also captaining the side and representing the club across every youth level.
Samper's playing style has already prompted fans to draw comparisons with former Barca midfielder Xavi, though the youngster has revealed that it is another midfielder in Iniesta who he looks up to.
