Spanish midfielder Oriol Romeu is all set to make a move to the prestigious Laliga giants FC Barcelona from Girona in the ongoing summer transfer window. The news has sent ripples of excitement among football enthusiasts and fans alike.
The Blaugrana have agreed to pay a whopping €5 million for the services of the 31-year-old midfielder. This deal will also include various add-ons, making it an even more lucrative move for Romeu. In addition, as part of the part-exchange agreement, Girona will receive talented player Pablo Torres on loan.
Initially, Barcelona had their sights set on Martin Zubimendi and Joshua Kimmich to strengthen their midfield, but due to the current financial challenges faced by the club, those plans had to be put on hold. However, the acquisition of Romeu has brought new hope and excitement to the team and its fans.
Romeu himself has expressed his eagerness to play for the reigning Laliga Champions. If the deal goes through, he will become Barcelona’s fourth signing of the season, joining the ranks of IIkay Gundogan, Inigo Martinez, and Vitor Roque.
As reported on Hardtackle.com, the transfer deal has already been finalized, and Barcelona is expected to officially announce the signing on Monday, July 17. This news has created a buzz of anticipation among football enthusiasts who are eagerly waiting for the official confirmation.
It is worth noting that Romeu has previously been associated with the Barcelona academy from 2008 to 2011. During the 2010/11 season, he even made a memorable appearance for the Barcelona senior team. With his return to the club, Romeu aims to make an even greater impact and leave his mark on the team’s success.
Last season, Romeu showcased his skills by scoring two goals in 33 Laliga matches. His performance played a crucial role in Barcelona’s triumph as they clinched the Spanish Laliga title with an impressive total of 88 points from 38 games in the division.
As fans eagerly await the official announcement, the news of Oriol Romeu’s potential move to Barcelona has generated excitement and anticipation among football enthusiasts from all over the world.
