After a summer full of rumours, with the names of Joshua Kimmich and Martin Zubimendi as some of the protagonists, Bar\u00e7a ended up choosing to sign Oriol Romeu as a replacement for a Sergio Busquets who said goodbye to the Barcelona entity after of more than 10 years defending the Blaugrana shirt to undertake a new adventure at Inter Miami alongside Leo Messi and Jordi Alba.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And although at first the decision was applauded by the general critics, the first doubts about this signing are already appearing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Because although the first matches that Oriol Romeu played on his return to Bar\u00e7a were of a very high level, the reality is that the Ulldecona midfielder has lost importance in Xavi Hern\u00e1ndez ‘s plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The ex- Girona footballer looked like the ideal complement to a midfield full of talent, with world-class players such as Frenkie de Jong , Pedri , Gavi and G\u00fcndogan , who need a defensive figure at the back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, especially against inferior rivals, who opt for a relegation approach, ceding possession to Bar\u00e7a, Oriol Romeu has ended up being a problem for the team, as his organizational facets are not the brightest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Faced with this scenario, the one from Ulldecana has lost ownership in the last games, leaving his place to Ilkay G\u00fcndogan , who has delayed his position and given space to a Ferm\u00edn who is making the most of the opportunities he has his coach is toasted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wilfred Ndidi is back on Bar\u00e7a’s radar<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition, it is expected that the participation of Oriol Romeu will decrease over the next month, as both Frenkie de Jong and Pedri will be medically discharged to return to Xavi Hern\u00e1ndez’s orders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For all these reasons, Bar\u00e7a’s technical secretariat could be exploring, once again, the market for defensive midfielders for next season. And the first rumors have already begun to surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As reported by journalist Ekrem Konur , who specializes in the transfer market, Bar\u00e7a has taken an interest in the situation of Wilfred Ndidi , who ends his contractual relationship with Leicester on June 30.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Nigerian player was already on the radar of the culer sports area during the last few years, but incorporating him at zero cost would be a perfect opportunity to strengthen the squad with a defensive profile as well, but with more touch of the ball than Oriol Romeu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
