Oriol Romeu joins Chelsea

bArcelona is in Firesale because of Cesc and Alexis

Fabregas was much more younger when he left, and Fabregas is not good enough to be a starting XI in Barcelona right now. Thats why in Spain NT he is on the bench all the time.

So, no, Barcelona is not in Firesale because of Cesc.

Actually if Barcelona is selling it means he is not that good.

Not really, they have tied down most of their highly rated youth talents like Thiago Alacantra(90m release clause signed this summer), Dongou. While the players they are letting go of are the ones who showed early high promise but jaded a bit last season, like Bojan, Etock, Jeffren and Romeu.

Romeu strikes me as a low risk (monetarily), possible high reward prospect.

Never heard of him to be honest -but if AVB wants him

1 Goal in 50 Games but looks promising

My mate who support Barcelona said that he is great player and fans doesn't want to lose him because he is only DMC in B squad. He also said that he is good going forward.

Apparently Barca offered him a new contract last season but he rejected.

Sky's Graeme Bailey on his twitter :

Some interesting lines coming from Barcelona vice-president Josep Maria Bartomeu trip to London - his first priority is Cesc Fabregas..But he is also finalising Chelsea's move for Oriel Romeu "

More from Sky's Pete O'Rouke

Reports in Spain suggest Chelsea and Barcelona have agreed a deal for Oriol Romeu.

An interesting player, and yes with Essien out it could be the perfect signing for us. One that will not cost a fortune but has a lot of potential...

better hurry ...the oriel closes soon

Barcelona sold Fabregas and Pique because there were 'not that good' as well.

Think they were poached by Arsenal and ManU as their contracts were running out. Not that it matters Henrique's point was too simplistic.
