Girona president Pere Guardiola insists they're counting on Oriol Romeu this season.

Romeu is a top target for Barcelona this summer.

But Guardiola said: "If Barça wants to do us a favor, they don't sign Oriol from us. It's a reality. We're planning the season with him inside, so they're not doing us any favors.

"17-18 days ago we spoke with Mateu (Alemany, Barca sporting director) to find out what the situation was and two days ago we arranged to see each other soon.

"We have said from the first day that we are planning the season with him in it, he is very important for us. Our position is clear, there is no issue at the moment.

"We will see how we move, Oriol has a contract with us, we plan everything with him and from the outset we do not consider anything else than Oriol is still here."
