Barcelona reach agreement for exit of midfielder

Barcelona have reached an agreement for the exit of Oriol Romeu. The Catalan midfielder has a year left on his deal, but is not in Hansi Flick’s for the season. Romeu, 33,  returned to Barcelona two summers ago, having left over a decade prior as one of the most talented prospects coming out of La Masia. After a promising initial start under Xavi Hernandez, injury issues began a descent into the background at Barcelona, and last season he returned to the club they signed him from, Girona, on loan. According to MD, Barcelona have reached a deal with Romeu to terminate his deal, allowing him to leave on a free transfer. His exit is seen as key in Barcelona’s attempts to clear space in their salary limit to register Wojciech Szczesny, Gerard Martin and Roony Bardghji, following on from a loan exit for Inaki Pena which occurred on Wednesday. Full-back Hector Fort is also expected to leave before the end of the transfer window. It should be noted that on multiple previous occasions an agreement has been reported
