Sergi Palencia
The B team captain has been excellent this season, providing 3 assists in 20 appearances in the league, along with defensive solidarity. In fact, Sergi Palencia should have been promoted to the first-team squad last season.
Next season, with the permanent departure of Arda Turan, Rafinha and André Gomes impending, a lot of vacancies will open up in midfield, This will give Ernesto Valverde the opportunity to fulfill his promise to Sergi Roberto, by moving him into midfield.
Also, this would vacate Roberto’s current role in the squad, as first-choice right-back. Of course, that role would be filled by Nélson Semedo, whose role can be occupied by Sergi Palencia. The 22-year old should be repaid for his loyalty to the club.
