Girona to pay €300,000 to field Oriol Romeu against parent club Barcelona
How much does it cost to play against Barcelona? For Girona, the price is exactly €300,000.
Midfielder Oriol Romeu, currently on loan from Barcelona, is technically not allowed to face his parent club due to a standard clause in the loan agreement — often referred to as a “fear clause.”
However, Girona have the option to override that restriction by paying a pre-agreed fee. In Romeu’s case, the clause is set at €300,000, and with key midfielders unavailable for the Catalan derby, manager Míchel has given the green light to pay up.
