Barcelona’s surprising decision after De Jong’s injury

Barcelona suddenly refused to sell their young player in the current summer Mercato, at the behest of German coach Hans Flick.

According to the newspaperMundo Deportivo:“Barcelona” stopped the transfer of Brian Farinas (20 years old) to Girona. He was Barcelona’s academy move to Girona, and in recent days all indications were that a deal was close, but the Catalan club decided to abandon the deal, at least for now.

The reason for the temporary suspension is Hansi Flick’s desire to give Farinas a chance during the pre-season.

Frankie de Jong’s injury influenced this decision as the German coach wants to provide more options and monitor the player closely before making a decision on his future.

The Dutch football player suffered a serious knee injuryAlthough the final diagnosis is not yet available, the midfielder will undergo further examinations in the coming days.

The club plans to split Farinas’ playing time between Barcelona Athletic and the first team, as happened with Tommy Marquez. This program allows Barcelona to control their young talent while building a strong and outstanding Barcelona Athletics team.

Fariñas, who is under contract with Barcelona until 2028, has had a strong season in Giuliano Belletti’s reserve team, scoring 5 goals and providing 7 assists in 33 games.

The footballer arrived at La Masia Academy in the summer of 2018, coming from the youth teams of Villarreal.
