Sergi Palencia Hurtado (born 23 March 1996) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a right back for Ligue 1 club Saint-Étienne.

Club career

Barcelona

Born in Badalona, Catalonia, Palencia started playing football for hometown club Badalona at the age of 8, moving to Barcelona's youth system, La Masia, in 2006. In 2013, he was compared to Bayern Munich full back Philipp Lahm by Spanish newspaper Mundo Deportivo.[1]

On 29 March 2015, while still a youth player, Palencia was called up to the Barcelona reserve team for a Segunda División match against Tenerife,[2] and played his first match as a professional hours later, starting in a 1–1 home draw.[3] He and Álex Grimaldo were sent off on 25 April 2015 in a 2–1 win over Ponferradina at the Mini Estadi.[4] Palencia played eleven matches in a season which saw his team relegated to Segunda División B, scoring his first goal on 31 May in a 5–2 home loss to Leganés.[5]

On 10 August 2016, Palencia was named the B-team's captain.[6] He achieved promotion back to the second level at the end of the campaign, and renewed his contract until 2020 on 5 October 2017.[7]

On 16 August 2018, Palencia joined Ligue 1 side Bordeaux in a season-long loan deal.[8] He played 31 total games, starting on 19 August in the season-opening 2–1 loss at rivals Toulouse in the Derby de la Garonne.[9]

Saint-Étienne

On 5 July 2019, Palencia joined Saint-Étienne for a fee of €2 million, with an additional €1 million in variables. Barcelona maintained 20% of his future transfer fee.[10] On his debut on 1 September, a 1–0 loss at Marseille, he sprained his right ankle under a challenge from Jordan Amavi and was ruled out for six weeks.[11]

On 28 September 2020, Palencia returned to Spain and its second division after agreeing to a one-year loan deal with Leganés.[12] The following July, after playoff defeat to nearby Rayo Vallecano, his loan was extended for another year; he was out of Saint-Étienne manager Claude Puel's plans and the French club needed to balance the books.[13]
