Barça is going through its best moment in recent years and the sports results speak for themselves. Since Flick arrived in the Catalan city, the squad has stepped up. Moreover, young players like Fermín or Gavi are the main reasons, since the academy graduates are carrying much of the weight.
Flick is aware of the squad he has and knows which positions need to be strengthened and which are overcrowded. According to recent reports, the coach thinks there are too many midfielders, so he has to make cuts. Fermín and Gavi have been spared, but one of their teammates has already been singled out and will not continue at Barça.
Fermín, Gavi and Barça's situation
Fermín was discovered by Xavi Hernández, who trusted him and gave him the opportunity in the first team that he so badly needed. The academy graduate's departure was already practically finalized after the one-year loan at Linares. Before letting him go, Xavi wanted to see him; he quickly fell in love with his play.
Fermín's career shows us that not all footballers make the leap easily like Lamine Yamal or Pau Cubarsí. Meanwhile, Gavi has also been and remains important for Barça, but he still hasn't been able to shine because of the injury he suffered. Even so, Flick is aware that he wants him on the team and won't let him go.
In any case, the reality is that there are many midfielders at Barça and Flick has to make a decision quickly. Although it was already expected, several sources close to the club state that Oriol Romeu will leave the club as soon as possible. While waiting for offers, the Spaniard remains linked to the club in the Catalan city, but it won't be for long.
Oriol Romeu and his not very successful spell at Barça
Flick is one of the best coaches in the world and this has been seen with the change he has brought to Barça. Although footballers like Gavi and Fermín haven't had much prominence, they've also improved notably. The German doesn't forget anyone and wants all members of the squad to be at their best.
At this moment, Flick is making decisions about his footballers, but it's clear that Oriol Romeu will leave soon. We'll have to keep a very close eye on the midfielder to find out what happens with his future.
