Life-long Barcelona fan and Azulgrana reserve player Sergi Samper is closing in on one of the most important moments of his short career so far. Everything is ready for the 21-year old midfielder to renew his deal at Camp Nou, his first contract amplification as a professional.

Samper's hard work and patience rewarded

Samper was behind a number of players in the midfield pecking order last season, but having knuckled down in training, the young Catalan has done enough to earn himself an extension at the club. While nothing is confirmed yet, Samper could sign a new deal within the next four weeks.

The Spanish footballer has turned down some big offers to leave Barcelona in the past: Arsenal and Arsene Wenger the most notable of seducers. However, Samper's patience is finally set to be rewarded.
