Besiktas interested in Oriol Romeu Vidal

According to reports, the future of Barcelona midfielder Oriol Romeu Vidal this summer remains uncertain, with Besiktas continuing their interest since the winter window.

Information from Toni Juanmartí, a Barcelona correspondent for Diario Sport, suggests that while it's still early spring, Barcelona has already begun planning for next season. Although some situations seem difficult to change, nothing is entirely certain at this stage, and Puig's future is one of the uncertainties. His importance has diminished to the second or even third tier.

Oriol Romeu Vidal's contract runs until June 30, 2026. While he initially showed promise, his playing time has dwindled in the latter half of this season. Christensen has become the linchpin of the defense, and the club is also searching for a capable midfielder in the transfer market. In fact, there were speculations during the winter window that Puig might move to Besiktas but it didn't materialize.

The Turkish club still holds an interest in signingOriol Romeu Vidal, but the conditions would be different in the summer. If Besiktas considered completing the transfer in the winter window for over €3 million, the current price would be significantly reduced. Besiktas isn't the only club interested in Oriol Romeu Vidal, who enjoys a good reputation, especially in Spain. Several clubs, including his former club Girona, have shown interest. Girona has openly expressed their happiness at the prospect of Oriol Romeu Vidal returning. If a change of scenery is desired, Oriol Romeu Vidal's priority is to stay in La Liga, so he's unlikely to be swayed by Turkish offers.

However, on the other hand, if Xavi ultimately decides to rescind his resignation and continue on the Barcelona bench, it shouldn't be ruled out that he might choose to keep Oriol Romeu Vidal. But if the player himself seeks quality playing time, he'll have to look for a new club.
