Barcelona’s Defensive midfield position has been a source of concern for the club in recent seasons especially the inability to find a suitable replacement for the great Sergio Busquets, the team has struggled to assert control and now that the whole team is struggling financially, this might be the perfect time to get Oriol Romeu here , with his defensive skills and experience, could this be a decent short term solution? also this could allow barcelona to have enough time to sort the market for a young and long term solution by the time the finances are more stable. 

Looking at Romeu age he’s 31, which means he has few more years to play top football which Barcelona can benefit from. He can surely be an important player for this Barca team he can do fantastic work to recover the ball and start the play.

EPL experience

Romeu has a wealth of experience playing at the highest level, including stints  at Chelsea and Southampton, where he has developed into a reliable defensive midfielder. His ability to read the game and break up opposition attacks would provide much-needed protection for Barcelona’s backline. Additionally, his physicality and work rate would complement Barcelona’s technical style of play, allowing them to dominate and control possession.

One of the key strengths of Romeu’s game is his ability to intercept passes and break up opposition attacks. Last season while playing with Girona he averaged 1.1 interceptions per game, This would be a great asset for Barcelona, who have struggled in defensive midfield in recent seasons and now with Sergio Busquets exits Romeu would provide a solid shield in front of the defense by breaking up opposition attacks.

Another strength of Romeu’s game is his work rate. He is a tireless midfielder who covers a lot of ground and is not afraid to put in a tackle. Last season, he averaged 2.1 tackles per game, This would be a good asset for Barcelona, who have struggled with their pressing game in recent seasons. By pressing high up the pitch and winning the ball back quickly, Barcelona could create more chances and dominate games.

A Luuk de Jong like signing?

Romeu had a very solid season with Girona. We’re heavily linked with him, so what should we expect?

Team quality must be taken into account but Romeu looks to very assured in possession; low turnovers, high dribble success rate being two key stats

Romeu’s experience would be invaluable for Barcelona. He has played in some of the biggest leagues in the world and has faced some of the best players in the game. This would give him the confidence and composure to perform at the highest level for. Additionally, his leadership skills would be valuable in the dressing room, and can be a great mentor if Barca decide to sign another young Dm for the future or promote one from their academy.

Oriol Romeu’s addition to Barcelona’s squad would strengthen their midfield and improve their defensive stability. With his ability to intercept passes, win tackles, and cover ground, he would provide much-needed protection for the backline. While he may not be the most high-profile signing, he could be the missing piece in Barcelona’s defensive midfield puzzle.
