Oriol Romeu is determined to take a step forward in this summer market. The veteran midfielder does not want to spend another aimless year and has communicated to his inner circle his intention to part ways with FC Barcelona, with whom he still has one more year on his contract. The player's idea is clear: to reach an amicable agreement with the Catalan club to become a free agent and thus be able to negotiate directly with any team interested in his services.
After an inconsistent season in his return to Girona, where he was on loan, Romeu has not been able to replicate the feelings of his first spell. Knee issues have affected his performance, and despite playing in over 30 matches, he failed to establish himself as a key player for Míchel. Girona, who welcomed him enthusiastically last summer, now does not consider keeping him due to doubts about his physical condition.
No place under Hansi Flick's orders
In Barcelona, the situation is not much brighter. According to 'Sport', the midfield is well covered with names like De Jong, Gavi, Pedri, Casadó, and Bernal, leaving no room for Romeu, who does not fit into Hansi Flick's plans. The sporting management is aware of this, and therefore, they would not frown upon facilitating his departure at no cost, possibly through a mutual termination.
At 33 years old with an increasingly demanding physique, Romeu seeks to close this chapter to start a new one where he can have a leading role and continuity. Once his agent meets with Deco, the goal will be clear: severing the contract with Barça to be free to take control of his future as soon as possible.
