On Wednesday, Barcelona announced the signing of Romeu through the club's official website for a transfer fee of 4.5 million euros, and Romeu became the fourth new signing in Barca's summer window.

Barca said on their official website, "Barca and Girona FC have reached a transfer agreement for Romeu. He will sign a three-year contract with the club until June 30, 2026, for a release fee of 400 million euros. ”

The 31-year-old came through the Espanyol Academy and joined Barca's youth academy in 2004 and made his professional debut in 2010-11, making two appearances in charge of Pep Guardiola.

Romeu then went on loan to clubs such as Chelsea, Valencia, Stuttgart and Southampton before joining Girona in the summer of 2022 for €5.5 million, scoring two goals in 36 appearances last season. After Busquets left, Xavi thought Romeu could succeed Busquets.

After the two clubs reached an agreement, Barca paid Girona a release fee of €4.5 million and signed Romeu back. Barca signed Gundogan, Inigo Martinez and Roque in the summer window, and Romeu became Barca's fourth new signing in the summer window.
