Barca in advanced talks with Oriol Romeu replacement — sources

Barcelona are in advanced negotiations to secure the services of Guido Rodriguez, sources close to the club reveal.

The 30-year-old's contract with Real Betis is set to expire in two months, opening the door for a free transfer to Camp Nou.

The proposed deal is said to be structured as a 2+1 contract, with Rodriguez eyed as Oriol Romeu replacement.

Barca's pursuit of the Argentine does not mean they won't go for another, top-class pivot, though.

Rodriguez's signing is aimed at ensuring the squad depth for the upcoming campaign.
