Chelsea midfielder Oriol Romeu may return to Barcelona in the future according to the player’s agent, as the Spanish giants have reportedly a buy-back option in the youngster’s contract.
It is believed that the European champions have the right to bring the defensive midfielder back to the Camp Nou in the summer of 2012 or 2013 should they so desire, after selling the starlet to the Stamford Bridge club in the last transfer window.
With Romeu impressing in his first season in England, the player’s agent Javier Magico Diaz has revealed that it is his client’s dream to one day play for Barcelona.
“Will Romeu return? His dream before leaving was to be a Barcelona player and that still stands, but we cannot ignore the opportunity Chelsea have provided. We’ll have to see if it’s appropriate for the club and the player to return to Barcelona,” the representative is reported to have said in The Guardian.
“We need to know if he’ll keep developing at Chelsea and playing. Maybe it will be more convenient to stay for another year and then return in 2013.”
Despite Romeu’s dream of playing for the Catalan giants, Diaz admitted that the player feels indebted to Chelsea for the opportunity to play first team football at a high level.
“Oriol has made a name for himself in the Premier League and is playing regularly. We’re committed to the club and we cannot leave them hanging,” he concluded.
