Oriol Romeu is now a new Girona footballer. The Catalan team and FC Barcelona closed this Monday the loan of the 32-year-old midfielder for one season and without a mandatory purchase option. The man from Ulldecona left the Bar\u00e7a preseason last Friday to close his negotiation with M\u00edchel’s men<\/strong>, understanding that he would not have much of a role with Hansi Flick on the bench.<\/p> The FC Barcelona and the Girona FC have arrived to an agreement for the cession of the player Oriol Romeu until 30 June 2025. pic.twitter.com\/5hxbv1bdsz<\/a><\/p> \u2014 FC Barcelona (@FCBarcelona_is) August 5, 2024<\/a> <\/blockquote> In that sense, the good performances of Marc Casad\u00f3 and the possible signing of another defensive pivot opened the door for ’18’, who in 2023\/24 was also unable to earn the starting position under the orders of Xavi Hern\u00e1ndez. In total, the footballer played 37 games (1,435 minutes) on his return to Bar\u00e7a, adding one assist and making only 17 starts<\/strong>. Romeu began the campaign as a starter, but after November he was relegated to the bench.<\/p> Now, the Catalan will seek to recover the level shown in 22\/23, where he was one of the best ‘5’ in LaLiga. M\u00edchel prioritizes his return after the departure of Aleix Garc\u00eda (he signed for Bayer Leverkusen) to rebuild the midfield<\/strong> of a team that will compete in its first Champions League after finishing third the previous season. For Bar\u00e7a, the ’18’ was one of the possible permanent discards, although Hansi Flick was counting on him.<\/p> At first there was speculation about the possibility of a transfer or exchange with Girona, but finally the operation was closed as a simple transfer. Oriol will return to Bar\u00e7a in June 2025<\/strong>, waiting to decide where he will continue his career after 13 years in which he has spent time in England (Chelsea and Southampton) and Germany (Stuttugart) before returning to Spain in 2022.<\/p> <\/p> ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" FC Barcelona and Girona closed the loan of Oriol Romeu this Monday.
