Girona send Barcelona strong message about Oriol Romeu

Girona have issued a pretty strong statement about Oriol Romeu amid speculation that Barcelona are closing in on a deal for the midfielder.

Pere Guardiola, the club chairman (and yes Pep’s brother), has warned the Catalans off Romeu and made it clear his team do not want to sell.

“If Barça wants to do us a favor, they would not sign Oriol. We’re planning the season with him at the club,” he said.

“Around 17-18 days ago we spoke with Mateu to find out what the situation was and two days ago we arranged to see each other soon.
