What everyone seems to be forgetting is that the contract also includes a clause for the amount at which we can buy him.

It is a deal where in we get to try a player for a few years, if he makes the cut, we can retain him at a pre-decided price obviously much higher than the sum for which Barca are bound to buy him back. Think of it as a loan to Barca, a move where we pay his wages and try him out, if he doesn't work, we get 3 million as interest on the loan we gave them.

barcastuff There's a total deal on the transfer of B player Oriol Romeu (19) to Chelsea for 5M. After 2 years, Barcelona can buy him back for 10M.

Win/Win?

They 'can' meaning we have a say in the matter.

And after one year, we offer him a new contract, without that clause, easy as 1 - 2 - 3

Yeah, from the videos i have watched he seems to have a nice touch and nice quick passing, a typical barca player.

They 'can' means Barca have the luxury of watching him here for 2 years and then deciding if he's worth the buyback amount in the contract. If they decide he is and if they activate the clause, we cannot say no, unless we have a Bojan type arrangement in place, which if we do, isn't public yet.

honestly i cant see us agreeing to a deal which allows us to effectivly turn a young player into a possible finished article and then allow barca to waltz in a take him back again. We must surely have a say in it

Chelsea have sent Paco Biosca to Colombia to conduct a medical with Spanish midfielder Oriol Romeu.

The player has no obligation to go back though.

This. Madmax is insisting in the same subject. The buy back clause is not even made public. All we have is news coming from spanish press. We dont even know if buy back clause exist or how its gonna work.

It doesnt make any sense to moan based in news from spanish press.

Yes, I think you're right ; Chelsea has to accept the buy back clause but the player has no obligation to accept Barcelona's offer

Romeu to undergo Chelsea medical whilst on international duty

Posted on Friday, 29th July 2011 by Anthony Williams

Chelsea manager Andre Villas-Boas confirmed to the press that Spanish midfielder Oriol Romeu will undergo a medical with the club's medical staff whilst in Colombia, as the 19-year-old is competing in the FIFA Under-20 World Cup.

The Blues have agreed a fee with Barcelona for Romeu, which is reportedly worth around €5m and the Catalan side have the option to re-sign him for €10m in 2013, but that doesn't mean Romeu would go even if they did meet the buyback clause as he is not obligated to accept personal terms.

When the deal is finalised Romeu will become Andre Villas-Boas' second signing as Chelsea manager after Thibaut Courtois joined from Genk for €9.5m earlier this month. Romeu could provide useful cover for the injured Michael Essien and AVB is a long-term admirer of the player, who he tried to sign whilst at Porto.
