Barcelona seal shock €8m Oriol Romeu transfer
Barcelona have re-signed Oriol Romeu from Girona in an €8m (£7m) deal, the club have confirmed.
Barca have confirmed that they have signed Romeu, for a reported €8m fee, with the midfielder putting pen to paper on a three-year deal. Romeu departed the Catalan club for Chelsea in 2011 but struggled at Stamford Bridge and has since played for Southampton and Girona before returning to Camp Nou.

Barcelona have been aiming to replace Sergio Busquets this summer after the legendary midfielder departed on a free transfer. It remains to be seen if Romeu is given the minutes required to replace the defensive midfielder but he is a budget option for the club. This summer, Xavi's side have also signed Ilkay Gundogan, Vitor Roque, and Inigo Martinez.
Barcelona play Juventus in a pre-season friendly this weekend, and Romeu will hope to be involved.
