FC Barcelona have ended the preseason tour with a perfect record across three games. With three wins from three matches, the Catalan giants have some positive morale on their side. One Barcelona player in particular who has exceeded all expectations during the tour, however, is Gavi.
As the team’s top goalscorer during the tour, Gavi’s resurgence has definitely taken people by surprise. Instead of being content with staying at Barcelona as a backup option, the Spaniard rose to the occasion and delivered some stellar performances.
Gavi’s Barcelona resurgence could have consequences

However, this good news for Gavi could spell equally bad news for another player, namely Fermin Lopez. According to Fichajes, Gavi’s resurgence could further complicate Lopez’s future at the club, with some lucrative offers coming up.
Considering the reports that have linked Manchester United to the Spanish midfielder, it is clear to see that there is interest in the player. Moreover, considering the financial situation of Barcelona, the report suggests that a departure of such significance could be considered as well.
However, with Gavi now creating a new selection headache for Hansi Flick thanks to his displays, Fermin Lopez is pushed even further down the pecking order. Still, thanks to his unique profile and determination, it also reportedly remains true that Hansi Flick does not wish to lose him either if possible.
