Official: On-loan Barcelona star to return this summer | OneFootball

A member of the loan army at La Liga giants Barcelona is set to return to base with the Blaugrana this summer.

The player in question? Oriol Romeu.

Midfielder Romeu for his part spent this past season plying his trade with Girona, on a temporary basis away from parent club Barcelona.

And the 33-year-old went on to endure something of a hit-and-miss time of things back at the Estadi Montilivi, racking up starts in just shy of half of Girona’s La Liga fixtures.

Across these appearances, though, Romeu evidently didn’t do enough to convince the Blanquivermells of his readiness to contribute beyond the summer into next season.

This comes amid confirmation that the former Southampton man is part of a group of departing Girona players this week.

As per a statement across the Catalan club’s website and social media platforms:

‘Bryan Gil, Oriol Romeu, Arnaut Danjuma and Arthur Melo, the four players on loan who have worn the red and white shirt this season, return to their teams of origin.’
