The future of Oriol Romeu could take an unexpected turn. The veteran Catalan midfielder, 33 years old, is reportedly very close to reaching an agreement with Konyaspor, a team in the Turkish Super Lig looking to add a player with extensive experience in European football to their squad.
According to reports from Turkey, the club has already submitted a formal proposal for the midfielder, indicating that the operation is at an advanced stage. As MundoDeportivo mentions, the player from Ulldecona, who last season played for Girona on loan, has not made a final decision yet, but everything suggests that Konyaspor's offer is one of the most solid options he is considering.
Oriol Romeu will not continue in Spain, Turkey is his destination
For the Turkish team, Romeu's arrival would represent a top-tier reinforcement in a key position. The aim is to benefit from his leadership in an increasingly competitive league, where teams like Galatasaray, Fenerbahçe, or Besiktas usually dominate, but Konya seeks to gain prominence.
Romeu began his career in the youth ranks of FC Barcelona, where he returned in 2023 after stints at prestigious clubs like Chelsea, the German Stuttgart, and especially Southampton, an English club where he established himself for several seasons in the Premier League. His career has earned him recognition as a player of great tactical rigor, capable of providing balance and solidity to any midfield.
Konyaspor, currently in fourth place in the Turkish league standings after the initial rounds, has decided to make a strong bet on him. The club believes that signing Romeu would be a step forward in their aim to approach European competitions like the Conference League or even the Europa League. The team, accustomed to fighting in the upper-middle part of the table, intends to raise their standards and sees the Catalan midfielder as a leader on and off the field.

For Romeu, this would be his first experience in Turkish football. Throughout his career, he has shown great adaptability, performing well in the demanding Premier League as well as in the Bundesliga and LaLiga. At this point in his career, a challenge like that of Konyaspor could be appealing, both in terms of sports and economics.
If the deal is finalized, it would mark a turning point in the career of a player accustomed to highly competitive environments. Konyaspor's fans are already getting excited about the prospect of seeing Romeu wearing the club's shirt, bringing his experience and game knowledge.
With this scenario, all signs point to Oriol Romeu's next destination being Konya. The agreement is close, and barring any unforeseen events, the Catalan midfielder will embark on a new chapter in his extensive professional career.
