New reinforcement for Barça (Official)

FC Barcelona have re-signed Oriol Romeu from Girona for a fee of 8 million euros, the club have confirmed.

Barca have confirmed the signing of Romeu, for a reported fee of €8m, with the midfielder signing a three-year contract. Romeu left the Catalan club for Chelsea in 2011 but struggled at Stamford Bridge and has since played for Southampton and Girona before returning to Camp Nou.

FC Barcelona are looking to replace Sergio Busquets this summer after the legendary midfielder left on a free transfer.

It remains to be seen whether Romeu will be given the minutes to replace the defensive midfielder, but he is a budget option for the club. This summer, Xavi’s side have also signed Ilkay Gundogan, Vitor Roque and Inigo Martinez.

FC Barcelona face Juventus in a pre-season friendly this weekend, and Romeu hopes to be there.
