Barcelona are reportedly interested in re-signing midfielder Oriol Romeu from Chelsea.

Romeu arrived at Stamford Bridge in the summer for a little over £4m. However, he is believed to have a buy-back clause in his contract that permits Barcelona to re-sign him at the end of the season if they so choose.

Chelsea boss Andre Villas-Boas said earlier this month that no such agreement is in place.

However, according to Marca, the Catalan club is planning to use Romeu to replace Seydou Keita, should he leave at the end of the season.
