The board at La Liga giants Barcelona are planning to terminate the contract of Oriol Romeu, once the midfielder has found for himself a new home.
That’s according to Mundo Deportivo, who have on Wednesday provided an insight into the situation.
Midfielder Romeu finds himself in something of a precarious situation at present.
Following a loan spell on the books of Girona in the 2024/25 season, the former Southampton man has since returned to base in Barcelona, with a year remaining on his contract.
The problem for Romeu, though, is that despite playing a prominent role in pre-season training, he does not feature in the plans of the Blaugrana in any way, shape or form.
The likes of Girona and Valencia have been credited with an interest in bringing the 33-year-old in for next season, though only in the case of Romeu becoming available as a free agent.
And as alluded to above, once any such agreement has been found with another club, Barca are ready to do their part in affording Romeu a straightforward exit.
As per a report from MD:
‘The player has offers that haven’t materialized, but when he reaches an agreement, he will terminate his contract with Barça.’
