Almería manage to sign sought-after left-back Akieme on loan from Barça B
He is 22 years old, plays on the left flank and is one of the most sought-after players in the transfer market. The Rojiblancos will have an option to buy
Sergio Akieme becomes the twelfth signing of UD Almería for the 2020/21 season, the fourteenth if we take into account Maras and Fran Villalba. The new Rojiblanco player arrives on loan from FC Barcelona, although Almeria will have an option to buy the player.
He has been a highly sought-after left-back in the summer transfer window. In point of fact, there have been several clubs including those competing in the top-flight, who have been especially interested in his signing, although Almería have been the one able to complete the deal in the end.
Akieme is 22 years old and is a fast left-footed defender. Not only he is also a powerful attacking player but also a tough defender. He has been a key figure playing for the Azulgrana Barça B team led by García Pimienta. In spite of the fact that he was named in the first-team FC Barcelona squad on several occasions, he did not make his debut.
Sergio Akieme Rodríguez was born on 16th December, 1997 in Madrid and has Spanish and Equatoguinean dual nationality. He began his football career at Getafe CF Youth and then moved on to Rayo Under-19s until he reached the first-team competing in the top-tier and second-tier in Spain. Last season he was signed by FC Barcelona B, resulting in a scintillating campaign.
