Spain international Inigo Martinez and Germany star Ilkay Gundogan have already joined the Catalan club, while 18-year-old striker Vitor Roque's signature has been secured ahead of the 2024/25 season, but a fourth signing has now been confirmed by the LALIGA champions.
Defensive midfielder Oriol Romeu, 31, returns to the club following a one-year stint at Girona, whom he joined after a seven-year stay at Southampton England.

The player is a product of Barcelona's academy, but struggled to make the grade after he made just two senior appearances for the club before joining Chelsea in 2011.
Romeu recently became a target for Xavi Hernandez following the free-agent departure of Sergio Busquets, who has reunited with Lionel Messi at Inter Miami in the MLS.
