In difficulty at FC Barcelona, one of the Catalan club’s summer recruits reportedly asked to leave this winter, without success.
Oriol Romeu’s experience at FC Barcelona seems to have turned into a fiasco since his arrival last summer. Recruited for 3.40 million euros from Girona, the defensive midfielder is struggling to prove himself.
Faced with this situation, the Spanish international now finds himself relegated to the substitutes’ bench and would have expressed his desire to leave the Catalan club during the last winter transfer window, according to The Athletic.
The English media reports that Deco, the club’s sporting director, however, rejected Romeu’s request. The main reason given would be the financial inability of Barça, in the midst of a crisis, to find a replacement for the 32-year-old player.
In addition, it is also possible that if Romeu were to leave, he would opt for a return to Girona. However, this scenario would be problematic for the Culés, as it would strengthen a direct rival in the race for the title of champion of Spain.
