Oriol Romeu's future may take an unexpected turn in the winter market. According to 'Mundo Deportivo', FC Barcelona and Girona are making progress in negotiations for the pivot to return to Montilivi in January
Oriol Romeu can have his days explained in his second stage like player of the FC Barcelona. In accordance with 'Sportive World', the Barcelona directive works from does already several weeks in the return of the of Ulldecona to the Girona, this because of the little prominence that has had the last month with the ones of Xavi Hernández. In this sense, the technician egarense would be the main obstacle in the operation, since the trainer culé does not want to lose to any player in January.
Although it has played little in November, Xavi considers to Oriol like an important piece in a staff with little basic wardrobe regarding midfield players. The injury of Gavi has left to Romeu and to Fermín López like only reliable variants in the medullary, being the player of 32 years the only defensive pivote born with which explains the first team this season. The Wednesday against the Amberes, the '18' aims to return to the eleven in which it will be his fourth party like titling this Champions.
Xavi has Romeu for the second half of the season
Without margin to do important movements in the wintry market, except the arrival of Vitor Roque, Xavi sees any exit in the staff like an important drop. In the case of Oriol, the egarense has left clear that trusts he, although in this moment there is not place for him in the field. The returns of Pedri and Frenkie of Jong have closed him the door to the eleven to Romeu, although his last performances neither gave too much confidence to keep him like titling.
The one of Ulldecona was to title in the seven first days of LaLiga (gave an assistance in front of the Betis) and only has remained without playing neither a minute in three dates, the last of them the Sunday in front of his ex team. This seemed a direct message of Xavi on the leadership that the experienced mediocentro Spanish can have in the second half of the 2023/24, but the true is that, in front of any rotation in the centre of the field, Oriol will be taken in account.
In front of the Amberes can be the last big opportunity of the '18' to convince to the club to conserve him, at least, until the summer. Of the contrary, will return to Montilivi, where expect him with the open arms. For now, the canterano culé has agreement until June of 2026 and, if it returns to the group 'albirrojo', is likely that do it through a traspaso by a mount similar to the that the Barça paid by his purchase in summer (3.4 'kilos').
