Girona coach Michel admits he wants to re-sign Oriol Romeu from Barcelona.

The midfielder was sold by Girona in August to Barca.

“I do (want to re-sign Romeu), but I think it will be impossible. He would be welcomed back with open arms," said Michel.

“Oriol was a key player for us, but I can't talk about what's happening at Barcelona. I'm sure the difficulty of playing there is greater in every way, but for us he was a very special player because he was the one who made me balance our pressing game. I used this a lot knowing that the cornerstone was Romeu.

“For me he was a special player on and off the pitch because of his ability, first of all because of his mentality to work. I still think he's a player who gave us a lot."
