Girona maintains interest in Barcelona midfielder Brian Fariñas

Girona remains interested in signing 20-year-old Spanish midfielder Brian Fariñas from FC Barcelona. Although direct negotiations have not occurred recently, all parties—Girona, Barcelona, and the player—remain open to a potential move during the January transfer window.

Negotiations were previously advanced during the summer, with a proposed deal involving €1.5 million for 50 percent of the player's rights. However, the transfer was halted after Barcelona manager Hansi Flick decided to retain Fariñas to provide depth following injuries to other midfielders. Fariñas has since been registered with the first team and assigned the number 4 shirt.

Fariñas, who joined Barcelona's academy in 2018 from Villarreal, has demonstrated versatility, playing as a central midfielder and a right-back during pre-season friendlies. While he has yet to see significant playing time with the first team, his performance with Barça Atlètic—including 5 goals and 7 assists in 33 matches—has drawn interest from both Girona and Borussia Dortmund.
