Calendar of FC Barcelona

Oriol Romeu is being one of the big protagonists of the actuality of the FC Barcelona, although no by positive reasons. It has desvelado that the club already has begun to evaluate the possibility to go out to the market of wintry signings to achieve a mediocentro that can serve of 'competition' or complement for the player formed in The Masia, put his performances in the last month have left him quite distinguished. It had signed a good beginning of course, accompanied constantly by Frenkie of Jong, but now are more the doubts that certainties.

In the last days have revealed more details on the process that lived the Barça before choosing to the of Ulldecona like the relief of Sergio Busquets. It is worth it to remember that, when the one of Badia communicated that it did not go to extend his agreement, the sportive direction began the research to achieve to a jugadr that went able to fill the 'hollow' that went to leave and were many the alternatives that were in the diary. Martín Zubimendi and Joshua Kimmich were the big favourites, but 'cost' 60 million euros each one and for the blaugrana was impossible to disburse this quantity. Still it is it.

They evaluated the alternatives of Marcelo Brozovic and Soyfan Amrabat, but also finish being descartados by economic and sportive factors. 'Relief' has added that Dani Parejo was the last alternative, beside Oriol Romeu, but finish descartándole to last hour. And it is that it does not be necessary to overlook that, before the beginning of the pre-season blaugrana, the player of the Villarreal was very linked with a movement to the City Condal, but finish in 'swim', although it was a profile that liked him a lot to Xavi Herrnández and was an option 'logical' to relieve to Sergio Busquets.

Dani Parejo Was a big option for the Barça

And it is that the midfield player was in an ideal situation for the Barça. It remained him a year of agreement with the Villarreal and were a lot of the rumours that aimed to that the ones of Castellón no descartaban his sale to a good price for descartar that left , a year afterwards, like free agent. The option was on the table and was very very valued by the trainer egarense, but finish decanting by the possibility of fichar to Oriol Romeu, to the one who he had asked on purpose to the sportive direction in that moment. They finished fichándole by around 3,4 million euros, a 'bargain'.

Dani Parejo Is, at present, in conversations to extend his stay in The Ceramics, but seem to be an operción that will depend on what achieve the Villarreal in this season. In any case, it is necessary to stand out that it was the Barça the one who descartó his incorporation and no the other way around. Finally, the fact that Romeu went formed in The Masia had much more weight and came more than justified by his performance in his last year in the Girona, that was quite positive.
