Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Romeu.
On the season, Romeu graded 1 for current form (age-blind), on 0 goals, 0 assists and 7.59 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 24 → 1). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 9. At 34 Romeu is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 3.6 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Romeu missed 3 games through injury (inactive, ankle) out of roughly 48 this season. The 6 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Past his 2021/22 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
7.59 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume across 6 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th of 24) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume.
Rated 9.3 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (7.59 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~12), then tapers with age. At 34, Romeu sits on 3.6, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Romeu's projected Rating — 9.3 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
