FC Barcelona is parting ways with an unwanted player with the departure of Oriol Romeu. A starter at the start of the season, the former Southampton player appeared in 37 matches with the Blaugranas, but he failed to fully establish himself during the season and was quickly forced to settle for small parts of matches. Placed among the unwanted players to improve the club’s financial situation, the midfielder will return to Girona, which he left in 2023 to join Barça.
“Oriol Romeu will wear the red and white jersey again. The Ulldecona midfielder arrives at Montilivi on loan, after a season at FC Barcelona. The pivot, who will train with the team tomorrow, returns to Girona, with whom he played 34 games in the 2022-2023 season. Romeu has extensive experience in major leagues. He has played for FC Barcelona, Chelsea, Valencia, Stuttgart and Southampton, making 239 appearances in the Premier League, 27 in the Bundesliga, 75 in LaLiga, among other competitions.”.
