The strong performance of Gavi during FC Barcelona's Asian tour has had direct consequences on the configuration of the Blaugrana midfield. His impact has been so high that he is shaping up as an undisputed starter for Hansi Flick, displacing Fermín López in the rotation. With three goals and an assist in just three matches, the academy player has returned strongly after his prolonged injury, and his performance has placed him ahead even of names that had an advantage in the German coach's initial lineup.

Gavi's consolidation in the center of the field has left Fermín in an uncomfortable position, exacerbated by the possible arrival of Dani Olmo, who also operates in that zone. This has triggered a domino effect within the squad, at a time when the club needs to trim the wage bill and generate income to register Marcus Rashford and Joan García, key signings for the upcoming season. Flick envisages him alongside Frenkie de Jong and Pedri as starters in the midfield.

Gavi shines in preseason and complicates Fermín's future at Barça

Fermín, who had made a good impression last season, is now seen as a viable market option. From England, Manchester United has made a strong entrance into the bidding, offering up to 70 million euros to secure the player. The amount has not gone unnoticed by the Barça board, who see this operation as one of the most significant of the summer.

The situation also impacts other players in the squad, like Marc Casadó, who, although not getting as many minutes ahead of De Jong or the young Marc Bernal, could stay as a natural replacement if Fermín's departure materializes.

The preseason has not only served to fine-tune tactical details but also to redefine hierarchies in the dressing room. Gavi has seized his opportunity to reclaim a key position, while Fermín, in a context of financial demands, appears as the ideal sacrifice for Barça to strengthen other areas of the field.
