Girona won’t negotiate for Oriol Romeu, Barcelona must pay release clause

Barcelona appear to have turned to Oriol Romeu as a Plan B when it comes to replacing Sergio Busquets in a move that has not gone down well with Girona.

Catalunya Radio are reporting that Girona don’t really want to lose Romeu and are not willing to negotiate a deal with Barcelona.

Therefore, if Xavi’s side want Romeu they will have to pay his release clause - which currently stands at 5 million euros.

Romeu is seen as a low-cost option for Barcelona and also a player who knows the club well having come through the club’s La Masia academy.
