Barcelona has reached an agreement for the exit of Oriol Romeu. The Catalan midfielder has another year about his deal, but is not in Hansi Flick's for the season.
Romeu, 33, returned to Barcelona two summers ago, after he left more than ten years earlier as one of the most talented prospects that came from La Masia. After a promising first start under Xavi Hernandez, injuries started a descent to the background in Barcelona, ​​and last season he returned to the club where they signed him, Girona, on loan.
According to MD, Barcelona has closed a deal with Romeu to end his deal, so that he can leave for a free transfer. His output is seen as the key in Barcelona's attempts to remove the space in their salary limit to register Wojciech Szczesny, Gerard Martin and Roenon Bardghji, following a loan output for Inaki Pena that took place on Wednesday. Full-back Hector Fort is also expected to leave before the end of the transfer window. It should be noted that an agreement was reported on several earlier occasions without transporting it later.
In the course of recent months, the experienced midfielder has been associated with a number of destinations, including Girona, where manager Michel Sanchez greatly appreciates his character. The will of Valencia and Real Betis are both also linked to a movement for him. Romeu is said to have been in negotiations with other clubs and wants a percentage of the money that he knew from Barcelona, ​​but will leave a part of it that plays in his negotiations.
Last season, Romeu fought with injuries when Girona struggled to prevent relegation after their Champions League emissions. In the end he made 31 performances, but only 22 starts.
