BARCELONA are reportedly lining up a move to sign forgotten Chelsea flop, Oriol Romeu.
The midfielder struggled to make the grade at Stamford Bridge during his four-year spell.
Romeu, 31, joined the Blues from Barcelona as a youngster after only making one league appearance for the LaLiga side's first team.
However, he did forge a home for himself after leaving Chelsea in 2015 for Southampton.
The Spaniard became a solid Premier League player during his seven years with the Saints.
He left the club in 2022 and returned to Spain with Girona and has continued to impress as a late bloomer.

Romeu's development in the last few seasons has seen him become a target for his former side.
Deco, who now works for Barcelona as the sporting director, views Romeu as a replacement for Sergio Busquets, according to Mundo Deportivo.
Busquets left the Catalonian side on a free transfer following the expiry of his contract.
He has since agreed on a move to MLS side Inter Miami and reunite with former team-mate Lionel Messi.
