According to the "Marca", Barcelona has made it clear that it will not sign any players again, and has also determined the list of players leaving the team. Romeu and Ford are neither in Frick or the club's plans, both aware of this and are analyzing the quotes received. However, there are only a few days left before the start of the 2025-26 La Liga, and they have not made any choice.

Romeu's contract will expire in June 2026. Barcelona hopes to give him freedom, and in return, Romeu needs to give up the remaining one year's contract. At present, many teams at home and abroad are in contact with him, but the former Girona player hopes to carefully analyze where he will go next. The situation is similar for

Ford. He is not within Frick's plan because Barcelona has many choices in the defense, including experienced veterans and young players trained by the youth training academy, such as Tolentz. Ford just renewed his contract more than a year ago and although he did go to Asia with the team, he did not play a major role in the preseason.

Although he is competent for both sides, Frick still relies on other players. In the Gambel Cup, he didn't even play for a minute. Ford's contract is in June 2029, and he has also received various loan and transfer invitations, including domestic and foreign countries, and he is currently conducting analysis with his team.

The most likely option is to rent, with the option to buy out. However, like Romeu, he is still considering his best choice in the future. It was a decisive moment for both of them.
