Chelsea midfielder Oriol Romeu has threatened to leave the club if he isn't given his chance in the Blues' first team, according to the Express.


The Spaniard is currently out on loan at Bundesliga club Stuttgart and spent last season on loan with Valencia, though Jose Mourinho is leaning towards including him in his plans next season according to the report.


Romeu would like to see this happen after his loan spell with Stuttgart ends, but insists he will not hesitate to leave Stamford Bridge permanently if he is not given his chance.


He said: "The Bundesliga is a good league to grow and to become a better player.


"We'll see what happens, but now I'm focused on the present and helping the team. I don't know what will happen in the next few years but I will never say no to staying in Stuttgart because they have treated me amazingly so far and I'm really happy here."


The Blues have a host of strong midfield players and have signed the likes of Nemanja Matic and Cesc Fabregas in 2014, meaning competition for places will be very tough for Romeu. The 23-year-old is however hoping that he can do enough to seal his place in the Chelsea team next season.
