According to reports from Diario Sport, Barcelona is considering Girona's defensive midfielder Oriol Romeu as a potential replacement for Sergio Busquets, who is set to join MLS team Inter Miami.
Busquets, a La Masia graduate, has been a key figure in Barcelona's midfield but is now leaving, creating a void that the club aims to fill.
Romeu, also a product of La Masia, left Barcelona in 2011 to join Chelsea but now has the opportunity to return to his former club. The 31-year-old midfielder recently moved from Southampton to Girona and has made a strong impression, featuring in 33 matches and even contributing two goals.
Since his return to Spain, Romeu has focused on maintaining his physicality, particularly after his experience in the demanding Premier League. Barcelona manager Xavi Hernandez has taken note of this attribute and sees Romeu as a potential addition to his midfield.
While both parties have expressed interest, a swift agreement is not expected as there are unresolved matters to address before a move can be finalized. Fortunately for Barcelona, Romeu is reportedly patient and willing to wait for the necessary time, as his desire to return to Barcelona remains strong.
