Southampton midfielder Romeu flattered by Barcelona interest

Published on: 27 March 2017

Southampton midfielder Oriol Romeu is flattered by interest from Barcelona.

But the 25-year-old say he "feels respected" at Saints and is just eager to repay the "love" shown to him on the south coast having finally, for the first time in his career, become an integral player.

"It's something very nice, of course, I had been there for many years and know the level of players," he told the Daily Echo, referring to talk of a Nou Camp comeback.

"Being linked with the club is always something nice but, luckily, I've been at Chelsea and Barcelona and haven't played and I don't want to be there again and I don't want to have this feeling [of not playing].

"I'm feeling very happy here [at Saints] and I won't give this away.

"The club has given me a massive welcome since the beginning, signing a new contract in January, and this support and confidence they have given me is something that no one has done before.

"I feel very pleased for that and I wouldn't say I've just stopped here, I'm very pleased with what they've done for me and I just want to give this love back."
