Oriol Romeu would consider Barcelona return

Chelsea midfielder Oriol Romeu has admitted that he would consider a return to Barcelona.

The Spanish giants have the option to buy the 20-year-old back after they sold him to the Blues in summer 2011.

"Returning to Barcelona is an option. Barca have a buy-back option. I left the club knowing about that. If they want to use that option, they should let me know," Romeu told Sport.

"If Tito [Vilanova] wants me to join, I'll talk to him and I'll consider it. If they show they believe in me, I'd be fine with that.

"I've always been a big fan of the club. Thanks to them I am where I am now, but playing time is crucial."

Romeu made 24 appearances for Chelsea during his first season at Stamford Bridge.
