The one from Ulldecona pays the interest of the termination clause so that the operation is a transfer
He does it by giving up part of his record and with the help of his representative.
Barça made the signing of Oriol Romeu official this morning and that of Ulldecona has already boarded the plane to start the pre-season tour of the United States under the command of Xavi Hernández.
This has been possible after negotiations that have been accelerated and closed in the last 48 hours and thanks to the effort made by the footballer and his representative, Màgic Díaz, who have given up part of his salary and some commission for the midfielder to fulfill his dream of putting on the Barcelona shirt again.
Girona wanted to collect an amount close to 4.5 million euros for Oriol Romeu. The figure corresponded to the termination clause of a capital footballer for his interests plus one million, which is what the player had cost the club in different concepts in his year in Montilivi.

Barça, for its part, when it learned that Oriol Romeu’s termination clause was 3.4 million euros, decided not to budge from that amount, for which reason Girona remitted to pay it, with the corresponding interest, in Madrid at the LaLiga headquarters, something that neither Ulldecona nor his representative wanted to happen.
The final solution, for the operation to have become a transfer, has been for the player himself to add to the 3.4 million that Barça paid the amount corresponding to the interest of the clause, raising the sum to close to four millions of euros.

Being a transfer, Barça has also achieved that the amount is paid in installments. Pablo Torre’s operation is totally independent from the transfer of Oriol Romeu. And in Girona it has not been very good that the Barça club has included in the contract for the transfer of the Cantabrian the clause of fear that will not allow him to face Barça.
