Overview

• Spanish reports say Barcelona and Oriol Romeu have agreed to a mutual termination expected to be completed on Thursday.
• Romeu, 33, did not train on Wednesday as his exit nears, ending his deal roughly 10 months early after last season’s loan to Girona.
• The move is intended to free sufficient wage and registration space for defender Gerard Martin under La Liga rules.
• Club plans indicate Martin’s registration is being prioritized for the Levante match, with availability described as likely barring late setbacks.
• Further registrations are targeted before September, with Roony Bardghji anticipated and Wojciech Szczęsny dependent on Iñaki Peña’s proposed loan to Como, while additional outgoings such as Marc Casado, Héctor Fort and Fermín López have been reported as possibilities.
