Know transfer fee accrued by Barcelona to sign Oriol Romeu
It has been revealed that Barcelona only spent €3.4 million to buy Oriol Romeu, even though the total transfer fee is thought to be €4 million. Romeu and his agent Magic Diaz each contributed money towards the gap. Romeu forfeited a portion of his pay, and Magic Diaz waived a portion of their commission, bringing the total to €4 million, which was Girona’s asking price for the seasoned midfielder. Additionally, it meant that the transaction could be completed more quickly, enabling Romeu to travel to the United States with the rest of his new teammates.
How much will Romeu earn at Barcelona & what will be expected from him?
Romeu is being tipped to wear Sergio Busquets’ iconic No. 5 shirt when he eventually moves to Barcelona, per Relevo.
According to reports, the agreement has a two-year initial term and a one-year extension clause. However, no information regarding Romeu’s pay at Barcelona has previously been disclosed. According to Gerard Romero, the midfielder’s pay won’t exceed €3 million net. The team won’t have any issues with his La Liga registration either, in addition. Thus, the player’s cost to Barcelona for two years wouldn’t exceed €10.5 million when taking into account the player’s reported transfer fee and salaries. Such a price is justified for a player with Romeu’s level of experience, particularly in the overheated market of today.
Romeu would still provide Barcelona with some benefits even though he lacks the allure and glitz of some of the personalities associated with the team for a midfield pivot role. Due to his graduation from La Masia, the athlete is already quite familiar with the Catalan club. Sergio Busquets, who left the team at the end of the previous season, will be replaced by Romeu. At the very least, it was a trade that was quite cost-effective, and Barcelona will hope that Romeu will be a good addition.
