Marca: Barcelona agrees to Romeu s free transfer, but the players need to give up their remaining salary

Hupu, August 3, According to the Marca report, Barcelona agreed to a free transfer between midfielder Romeu, but the player needs to give up the remaining one year's salary.

Romeu is the only player in Barcelona who has not participated in the Asian tour with the team, and this is the decision of the technical team. The 33-year-old Catalan midfielder has been training alone while the team is heading to Japan and South Korea to train. From Urdcona, he has clearly realized that he needs to find a way out in this transfer window, and both the club sports management and head coach Frick have clearly informed him. But as of now, he has not decided which offer to accept, so he will rejoin Barcelona for joint training next week.

Romeu's contract with Barcelona will last until the summer of 2026. He has many quotes from domestic and foreign clubs, but he is unwilling to make a hasty decision. Instead, he hopes to calmly evaluate various possibilities and plan the next step in his career reasonably. The club originally hoped to resolve his stay or leave issue as soon as possible, but progress is slow. Romeu himself is more inclined to wait for new opportunities in the market in the later stages.

The midfielder, who has played for Girona, the Premier League and the Bundesliga, has been training alone in the facilities of Barcelona Sports City for the past two weeks. These days were not easy for him: he was the only player who did not board the Barcelona Asian flight. However, he never relaxed his physical condition and professional training.

When the team returns from Asia this Tuesday, Romeu will rejoin the team's joint practice. However, his future will take several days to finalize.

Clubs such as Girona and Oviedo have expressed interest in the veteran. Barcelona hopes to provide Romeu with a free transfer license on the premise that he waives the remaining one year's contract salary. Head coach Frick is well-manned in the midfield position, and Romeu is no longer within his tactical plan, which is why he was loaned to Girona last season.

This summer, Romeu will officially bid farewell to Barcelona. But he has not yet determined where his next stop will be. He returned to Barcelona in the summer of 2023, but this second-time experience has not gone as smoothly as he expected.
