Barca formula for Romeu move including Torre on loan

Barcelona and Girona are negotiating the transfer of Oriol Romeu, with the former La Masia talent under a release clause of 8 million euros.

The Catalan giants are looking for their next pivot to replace Busquets and Xavi has chosen the player from Ulldecona to be the one to lead the transition from the departure of the captain, who today travelled to Miami to be presented as a new Inter player.

Girona asked for the clause to be triggered to accept his sale, but they are interested in a Barcelona player to replace him, and it could be Pablo Torre, who is not in Xavi Hernandez's plans.

Girona agree to lower the clause to five million euros plus an amount to be defined in variables in exchange for letting Oriol Romeu go and having the loan of Pablo Torre might be the solution, a player who must take one more step at another top flight club before making his home at an elite club.

Barcelona and Girona hope to finish these negotiations soon and there was even speculation that it could be on Saturday.

In any case, Oriol Romeu is expected to travel to the American tour with Barcelona and will be presented as a Barcelona player in the United States.
