Hansi Flick has arrived at Barça to make important decisions. After a blank year in which the Barcelona team has hardly been able to get positive marks, the German coach lands in the capital of Catalonia with the aim of rebuilding a team that must take a step forward to return to compete for the League and the Champions League.
For this, he will have to meet with both Joan Laporta and Deco to draw up a plan drawn up in terms of departures and arrivals that should serve to form a competitive squad in all positions. And in this sense, it seems that the first big decision has already been made.
As reported by the prestigious sports journalist Fabrizio Romano , Hansi Flick’s intention is to transfer Oriol Romeu , as he does not count for his future plans. Bearing in mind that the German team opts for a 4-2-3-1 with a very dynamic double pivot, with two footballers who must contribute both in attack and defence, the characteristics of the Ulldecona player can become limiting.
In addition, the season he has starred under the orders of Xavi Hernández has been disappointing, being relegated to a role of clear substitute. Therefore, everything seems to be on track for Romeu’s second stage at the Barcelona club to end prematurely.
In fact, Barça have been talking about possible reinforcements for the defensive pivot for many months . The two favorite names of the technical secretariat led by Deco are Joshua Kimmich and Martin Zubimendi , but their transfers will be difficult to afford in the economic field.
Therefore, more affordable alternatives have already begun to be studied, such as that of Amadou Onana or Wilfried Ndidi . Even so, the signing market has not officially started yet, so it is expected that over the coming weeks more names will appear to be added to the culer agenda.
Be that as it may, what seems to have already been decided is that Oriol Romeu will leave Barça at the end of the season . And his destination seems pretty clear too: Míchel’s Girona . The will of the Catalan midfielder is to return to the club where he offered his best level, to once again be one of the best midfielders in the competition.
Also, his signing seems quite clear if you take into account that Aleix Garcia , who has occupied the axis of the back of Girona this year, would already have everything closed with Bayer Leverkusen for the coming season. Therefore, all that is needed now is for the three parties to agree, but it is not intuited that there will be too many problems to close this deal, beneficial for all concerned.
