Sergio Bermejo Lillo (born 17 August 1997) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for Real Zaragoza. Mainly an attacking midfielder, he can also play as a winger.

Club career

Bermejo was born in Madrid, and finished his formation with Getafe CF. He made his senior debut with the reserves on 1 May 2015, starting in a 0–1 Segunda División B home loss against SD Amorebieta.[1]

On 15 January 2017, after being rarely used, Bermejo was loaned to fellow Tercera División side CD Móstoles URJC until June.[2] Upon returning, he became an undisputed starter for the Azulones B-team.

On 20 June 2018, Bermejo signed for CDA Navalcarnero in division three.[3] On 18 December, however, he agreed to a four-year deal with RC Celta de Vigo and was assigned to the B-side also in the third tier.[4]

Bermejo made his first team – and La Liga – debut on 30 October 2019, coming on as a late substitute for Denis Suárez in a 1–2 loss against Real Betis.[5] The following 18 August, he signed a four-year contract with Real Zaragoza in Segunda División, after terminating his contract with Celta.[6]

Bermejo scored his first professional goal on 8 January 2021, netting his team's second in a 2–0 home win over UD Logroñés. On 13 September 2022, after establishing himself as a regular starter, he renewed his contract until 2025.[7]

On 1 February 2024, Bermejo was loaned to fellow second division side Elche CF until the end of the season.[8]
