Sergio Barcia Laranxeira (born 31 December 2000) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a central defender for Segunda División club UD Las Palmas, on loan from Polish club Legia Warsaw.

Club career

Barcia was born in Vigo, Galicia, and joined RC Celta de Vigo's youth setup in 2010, aged nine,[2] from Club Colegio Hogar.[3] On 23 August 2019, after finishing his formation, he was loaned to Tercera División side Ourense CF for the season.[4]

Barcia made his senior debut on 1 September 2019, playing 31 minutes in a 2–0 away loss against Deportivo Fabril.[5] He was a regular starter during the campaign, appearing in 26 matches as his side missed out promotion in the play-offs.

On 31 August 2020, Barcia signed a three-year contract with Granada CF and was initially assigned to the reserves in Segunda División B.[6] He made his first team – and La Liga – debut on 8 November, starting in a 2–0 away loss against Real Sociedad, as his side was heavily impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.[7]

On 18 July 2022, Barcia returned to Celta and was assigned to the reserves in Primera Federación.[8] On 4 July 2023, he signed a two-year deal with Segunda División side CD Mirandés.[9]

On 11 July 2024, Barcia joined Polish Ekstraklasa club Legia Warsaw on a permanent deal, signing a three-year contract.[10] Roughly one year later, after being rarely used, he returned to his home country after agreeing to a one-year loan deal with UD Las Palmas in the second division.[11][12]
