Girona seems to have made a decision about whether or not to sign Oriol Romeu and Bryan Gil, who are on loan from Barcelona and Tottenham Hotspur respectively, on a permanent basis for this summer's transfer window.
Both players arrived on loans last summer, but they each included a purchase option in the agreed deals. As far as Bryan is concerned, his clause was appreciated at € 15 million, and earlier this year it was reported that Girona was seriously considering activating this at the end of the season. But it turns out that they have decided not to do this.
And the same can also be said for Romeu, who only returned to Girona for 12 months last summer, leaving the Catalans for Barcelona. He struggled back in Montilivi and failed to become a regular starter for head coach Michel Sanchez.
On Tuesday, Girona confirmed that Bryan and Romeu would return to Spurs and Barcelona respectively, alongside other Loanese Arthur Melo and Arnaut Danjuma, who went back to Fiorentina and Villarreal.
However, this announcement does not necessarily mean that Bryan or Romeu will not return to Girona later in the summer. With regard to the latter, he is not a contract in Barcelona, ​​and without plans for a new deal he will become a free agent at the beginning of July.
Tottenham also wants to sell Bryan, and the chance is that they would offer lower than the € 15 million purchase clause that Girona had, which means that there are opportunities for the Catalans to return to the bid.
It will be interesting to see how Girona is doing their business this summer. Their disappointing 16th place in La Liga can mean that there is less money to spend on deals during the coming transfer window.
