When Sergio Gomez joined Borussia Dortmund in 2018, he was advertised as a brimming playmaker looking to make a breakthrough in professional football after spending years honing his skill as a youth player at La Masia.
But after making just three competitive appearances in the first 18 months at the club, he was shipped to SD Huesca on a loan deal, before being offloaded to RSC Anderlecht last summer, for a fee of €2.25 million.
Gomez’s move to Anderlecht turned out to be an absolute bargain for the Belgian outfit, who were quick to identify the player’s strengths and employed him in a wing-back role.
The 21-year-old’s creative prowess and ability to conjure up chances in the final third added a new dimension to Anderlecht’s wide play. The player ended up with 22 goal involvements in the 2021/22 campaign, emerging as one of the most sought-after left-backs in Europe.
Throughout the year so far, Gomez has been linked with a move to various top clubs across Europe. But as per a report relayed by Mundo Deportivo, there is a possibility the youngster could return to Camp Nou, with Barcelona seemingly keen on his services.
The report suggests Barcelona are keeping tabs on Gomez’s progress and could make a move for him in the summer, as a potential long-term replacement for Jordi Alba.
