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.
