Girona Star Speaks After Completing Barcelona Medicals

Girona Star Speaks After Completing Barcelona Medicals

As far as Oriol Romeu’s return to FC Barcelona is concerned, everything is completed, barring the confirmation of an official statement.

The 31-year-old midfielder will soon sign with his old team after leaving Catalan rivals Girona. Barcelona and Girona ultimately secured a comprehensive agreement to sign Romeu over the weekend after protracted negotiations.

The agreement for the Spanish midfielder is expected to cost €5m plus add-ons. Pablo Torre will leave Barcelona on a season-long loan to Girona as part of the agreement.

Romeu skipped training with Girona today in order to complete his medicals with Barcelona. And as per Alex Pintanel, the 31-year-old has successfully completed his medical tests.

In fact, following the procedure, Romeu even spoke a little with the media about his impending move to Barcelona and said: “Yes, I’m happy.”

Romeu went on to add that he has not had any exchange with Barcelona manager Xavi Hernandez yet, though, as he said: “I haven’t spoken to Xavi yet.”

 

Romeu’s transfer is only a matter of time now and an official announcement could arrive in the coming hours.

Although, there is a chance that the club might push the confirmation of the transfer to tomorrow to avoid the news clashing with Ilkay Gundogan’s formal presentation as a Barca player, which is currently underway.
